The buzz around this year's gaming ceremony has been intense, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious image of a desert monolith. The question is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is working on a completely new Divinity game.

Where many modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is brimming with specialized paths you can achieve by choosing a specific type of character with a personal story.
