The Game Awards Teaser Unveils Possible Link to Divinity Franchise
Following Geoff Keighley’s release of an enigmatic teaser image—a large, demonic-looking statue erected in the Mojave Desert accompanied by cryptic messages—the identity of the mysterious game to be revealed at The Game Awards has become clearer. Initial speculation ranged from God of War to Diablo and even a new Elder Scrolls, but those possibilities were dismissed by the respective studios. However, a European trademark registration, first spotted by MP1st, has strongly suggested a connection to Larian Studios’ Divinity franchise, potentially spoiling the surprise for Thursday’s event. The registration includes an updated logo for Divinity and two previously unseen symbols. One of these symbols closely resembles the glowing icon on the statue in Keighley’s teaser. Adding to the speculation, Reddit user pestoraviolita noted that Braccus Rex’s original character design in Divinity: Original Sin 2, which features Fane, a skeleton in a sword and fancy duds, bears a resemblance to the figures in the statue. Reportedly, leaker Extas1s also claims that the statue is linked to Divinity: Original Sin 3.
The same legal office that handles other Larian Studios trademarks filed the trademark requests, further supporting a direct link. The registered logo preserves the series’ classic visual identity but with a modern twist, indicating a new project rather than a simple remaster. These findings have led fans to believe the upcoming reveal at The Game Awards will be a new Divinity game, possibly Divinity: Original Sin 3 or a major reinvention of the IP. This theory aligns with Larian’s recent statements that, after the success of Baldur’s Gate 3, they would focus on returning to their original IPs. Furthermore, an update to the new-generation versions of Divinity: Original Sin II had already excited the community, with many interpreting it as a sign of more significant developments to come. If not a direct sequel, what could this new Divinity title be? It’s worth recalling that Original Sin served as a prelude to the franchise. The other five games in the series—Divine Divinity, Beyond Divinity, Divinity II: Ego Draconis, and Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga—were all released under different titles, suggesting Larian has never been afraid to experiment within the Divinity universe.
New Divinity Spinoff in Development? Speculation Swirls Around Trademark Registration
However, despite these indications, Larian Studios Publishing Director responded to a fan on X, stating they are not developing Divinity: Original Sin 3. The new title could therefore be a prequel or parallel game within the Divinity series. While signs point toward a new Divinity title, there has been no official confirmation about the game’s specific title or type. The trademark registration only mentions “Divinity” without a subtitle, leaving room for speculation about a reboot or an entirely different project within the series’ universe.
