Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. Larian clarified that a follow-up to its beloved RPGs is not on the cards right now.

Where many modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is brimming with specialized paths you can achieve if you're playing as a particular class or origin with a specific history of choices.
