Larian Studios wants fans to know that Divinity will not be Baldur's Gate 4 ahead of the inevitable comparisons. There's been a lot of buzz about the developer's latest RPG, with the lead-up to its reveal being one of the biggest stories around The Game Awards and bold post-announcement claims giving fans a lot to look forward to. Now, the team behind Divinity has acknowledged the giant expectations BG3 has set but stresses that the new game will take things in a different direction.
After sparking widespread speculation and rumors by planting a mysterious statue in the desert, Larian revealed Divinity at The Game Awards 2025 and told fans it would be its biggest game yet. That's a major claim, considering the scale of Baldur's Gate 3, but the size of the studio's last game isn't the only precedent Divinity has to live up to. After BG3 redefined the RPG genre, many players will likely expect a similar experience from Larian's next project, but devs have now clearly stated that Divinity will break away from those expectations.
Larian Studios' next ambitious RPG, Divinity, should take these features from Baldur's Gate 3, but avoid one annoying detail....
