Announced as Divinity, the game was debuted with a bold trailer that included intense imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the literal unleashing of hell.
Moving Beyond Original Sin
For those anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio clarified that a third Original Sin game to its beloved RPGs is not on the cards right now.

The Journey Continues
