Earlier this month, a big, demonic-looking monolith appeared within the Mojave Desert, and Geoff Keighley tweeted a photograph of it. The monolith featured figures of all types of unusual creators: skeletons, alligators, troopers, a wolf, and extra. Within the time since, on-line gaming fanatics have been eagerly speculating as to what the monolith and Keighley had been teasing forward of The Recreation Awards. Diablo 4? The Elder Scrolls 6? God of Battle? Bloodborne 2? Altered Beast?
Effectively, the thriller might have been solved upfront of The Recreation Awards on Thursday. As spotted by MP1st, some newly registered logos reveal a recreation and a brand that appears primarily an identical to an emblem on the monolith. And people logos look like for a brand new Divinity recreation, from Larian Studios.
How do we all know? Effectively, let’s check out one of the trademarks. It is for a picture, and it appears like this:
Now evaluate that to the massive image on the heart of the statue:
So yeah, that is undoubtedly the identical image, so we’re in the suitable place. Now, how do we all know it is Divinity? Let us take a look at the next trademark registered at the same time by the same company, merely for “Divinity”, with a brand hooked up.
Now we’re getting someplace! It isn’t actual, however it’s fairly corresponding to previous Divinity: Authentic Sin logos:
And even nearer to the older Divinity video games, slashed via “i” and all.
Okay, possibly it is all only a large coincidence? Positive, I suppose. However there’s yet another clue. All three logos had been filed by Ihde & Companion Rechtsanwälte, a authorized agency that, amongst different issues, has beforehand filed logos for Larian Studios, together with past Divinity: Original Sin trademarks.
In order that’s fairly minimize and dry. However what about that third trademark? That is the place issues get a bit extra mysterious. This trademark can also be only for a picture, this one right here:
What’s that? I don’t know. However it’s most likely associated, given it was filed on the identical day by the identical agency and is in an analogous type to the opposite logos. Possibly we’ll discover out on Thursday.
Critically, this appears to be for a brand new Divinity…NOT a Divinity: Authentic Sin recreation. Director of publishing at Larian Studios Michael Douse was on Twitter/X in the present day shutting down any rumors of a Divinity: Authentic Sin 3, however his language was very particular:
There aren’t at present any plans for a brand new Divinity Authentic Sin 3 recreation however as soon as we’re prepared to point out what we have been engaged on we’ll 🙏

If that is certainly Divinity, that is excellent news for Larian followers, as Divinity: Authentic Sin 2 was implausible. We gave it a 9.6/10, saying, “Divinity: Authentic Sin 2 might have been designed within the spirit of decades-old RPGs like Baldur’s Gate 2, however that legacy serves solely as a basis for the expansive recreation Larian has constructed on high of it.”
Talking of Baldur’s Gate, Baldur’s Gate 3 is Larian’s most up-to-date work, and that received a powerful 10/10 from us. We stated, “I do not wish to say each CRPG going ahead ought to aspire to be like Baldur’s Gate 3. Not every little thing must be almost this large and impressive, and even this dense. However it’s a landmark second within the style, and if I needed to level to at least one paragon that I would love everybody else making these to take inspiration from, that is completely it.”
Whereas some might have clamored for Larian to right away get to work on DLC or Baldur’s Gate 4, Larian explicitly stated over a 12 months in the past that it would not be persevering with with one other D&D recreation. Nonetheless, Larian CEO Swen Vincke has been teasing a brand new challenge for some time now, and based mostly on previous timelines, this 12 months’s Recreation Awards could be an ideal time for an unveiling.
