BREAKING: Divinity Original Sin 3 Rumors Ignite Ahead of The Game Awards
I just watched the new teaser tied to The Game Awards, and it lit a fuse. A horned demon statue. Low light. No title cards. No platform tags. No logos. It is a clean mystery drop, timed for a pre-show push. Here is the honest read. Fans think this points to Divinity Original Sin 3. The case is not closed, but it is loud enough to matter.
The Teaser We Can Verify
The clip is short and stark. A demonic idol on a rough plinth. Firelight flickers. There is no voice. The camera lingers, then cuts. That is it. No icons. No partner splash. A classic show bait piece, the kind that wants you guessing.
Why are RPG fans jumping to Rivellon? Larian likes stone and fire motifs. Divinity often plays with holy versus profane themes. A demon statue fits that palette. It is not proof. It is a silhouette that lines up with what we know of their style.
This is not a confirmation of Divinity Original Sin 3. Treat it as a signal, not a promise.
The Road That Got Us Here
This flare up did not start today. In May, Larian briefly held the @divinity handle on X. That alone spun up weeks of talk. The studio later said it was handle housekeeping, not a tease. That message was clear. No near term Divinity news planned.
Then came a bigger shift. Early this year, Larian declared a media blackout. The team said it was focused on two new projects that are not Dungeons and Dragons. At GDC, Swen Vincke also explained that Baldur’s Gate 3 DLC and a sequel were parked. The studio wanted to build new worlds. He added that Divinity would return one day, but not right away.
Set those pieces next to today’s demon statue. The picture gets messy. It could be a fresh IP reveal. It could be misdirection. It could be Divinity coming back sooner than expected. The truth is in the hands of the show.
Where The Odds Actually Sit
Let’s sort fact from wish.
- Confirmed, Larian has two new games in development and a closed comms policy.
- Confirmed, the Divinity IP is still theirs, and the studio loves it.
- Unconfirmed, The Game Awards teaser links to Divinity Original Sin 3.
- Unconfirmed, any reveal on December 11 will be full gameplay, or even more than a logo.
From a studio planning view, a pure logo or tone piece would make sense if Divinity is next. Real gameplay, less likely, given the blackout and timing. A different new IP is just as likely, maybe more.
What Players Want, And Why This Hits Hard
Divinity Original Sin and its sequel changed how we play party RPGs. Four player co op. Playful systems. Talking to animals. A fight can start from a single spilled oil bottle. DOS2, in co op, felt like a tabletop night in digital form. Many players want that spark again.
There is also the Baldur’s Gate 3 effect. Larian shipped a cultural giant. If Divinity comes back, fans expect lessons learned. Smarter controller support. Cleaner onboarding. Strong cross save. A quest log that respects co op chaos. The bar is high, and the excitement is real, because that bar is Larian’s own.
How The Community Is Moving
Veterans of DOS1 and DOS2 are hopeful, but careful. They remember the handle saga. They know Larian speaks when it is ready. Co op groups are already whispering about reruns and builds. Modders are watching for any hint of tool plans. Tabletop players are asking one thing. Will it still feel like we can break the game and laugh together?
I am hearing a lot of the same sentiment. If it is Divinity, great. If it is new, let it be bold. Either way, show us intent, and give the systems room to breathe.
Rewatch the teaser with headphones. Listen for any familiar Divinity audio stingers, like Source whispers or choir tails.
What To Watch At The Game Awards
Here is your simple checklist for Thursday night, December 11.
- A Larian logo stinger before the statue shot.
- Words tied to Rivellon, like Source, Voidwoken, Lucian, or Malady.
- A title card that uses the Divinity font family, or red gold palette.
- A line about platforms and timing. Even a year window is a clue.
- Any mention of co op or Game Master tools, which would scream Divinity.
If none of that appears, keep your expectations in check. It may be a new world with a dark fantasy vibe.

The Bottom Line
I am calling this what it is. A sharp tease, a hungry fan base, and a studio that plays long games. Divinity Original Sin 3 is possible, not proven. The Game Awards will settle the statue question. Until then, enjoy the buzz, replay a run with Fane or Lohse, and keep your eyes on the feed. If the red and gold crest appears, you will hear it here first.
