If you’re unaware, for the past week, a statue has been sitting in the desert (now by the The Game Awards venue) that has been rumored to be connected to multiple titles. These have included FromSoftware, Lords of the Fallen, Diablo, and others, all of which have been debunked up until this point.
However, looks like the trigger might have been pulled a little too soon, or at least, people’s expectations of what that game is.
In the report, MP1ST detailed that official Divinity trademarks were listed recently. As summarized below by MP1ST, it very much appears these symbols are connected to the latest filing.
“This discovery centers on three new trademarks registered today in Europe for the Divinity franchise: one for a logo and two for icons that appear to be related to the logo or promotional material.
Although the owner of these filings is not listed (the representative ID ties them as the same), the design is unmistakably linked to the franchise created by Larian Studios. This new logo features the aesthetic of previous logo titles but also a refreshed, modernized font, strongly hinting that this represents a brand-new project in the saga rather than a simple re-release.”
Obviously, this has led to a host of gamers clamouring for what they believed to be Divinity: Original Sin 3. However, a developer within Larian Studios who goes by the name of Cromwelp on X has confirmed that there are currently no plans for Divinity: Original Sin 3 after talking about the leaked Divinity: Original Sin 2 remaster.
“There aren’t currently any plans for a new Divinity Original Sin 3 game, but once we are ready to show what we’ve been working on, we will.”
That kills the dream, right? Well, not exactly. He said Original Sin 3; he didn’t say they weren’t working on something related to Divinity itself.

In fact, the latest report by MP1ST only attempts to confirm the use of Divinity and merely guesses that it is tangentially related to Original Sin 3. Heck, for players more aware of the Divinity series, Original Sin 1 and 2 are actually the fourth and fifth entries in the Divinity series. In 2009, Divinity 2 was released, which focused more on first and third-person RPG action similar to Skyrim rather than what we’ve come to know from Larian.
Whatever this new trademark is could very well be the evolution of the Divinity series and something entirely different from what we’ve seen out of their last three games. Their first Divinity game, Divine Divinity, was more or less inspired by Diablo. It’s fair to say this series has gone through quite a bit of change over the last 20 years.
MP1ST also detailed a decent guess as to what this potential Divinity game could be.
The Black Ring
The Black Ring and God King are the current working theories, and while MP1ST called it a reach, it seems very plausible when you look at it. I also did a bit of digging myself, which you can see above, to help verify the claim that this is related to the Black Ring and God King.
MP1ST matched up the logo extremities with the potential legs and arms of the God King, who, spoiler alert, was put away alongside his Voidwoken in 1242 AD, during the events of Divinity: Original Sin 2.
The revenge of the God King could lend itself to the events of a game such as Original Sin 3; it could also be that this potential new game takes place far later, as the God King simply breaking out right after being sealed would be all too Diablo for me. What, Diablo got out again?!
Followers of the Divinity timeline will know that Original Sin 2 (1242 AD) takes place 1246 years after Original Sin 1 (4 AR), 24 years after Divine Divinity, 4 years after Beyond Divinity, and 58 years before Divinity 2. Yeah, it’s a bit confusing. While these games share a timeline, they don’t always share gameplay mechanics. I’d wager that the Divinity series is one of the most mechanically changing RPG series of any video game sequence if you include all the titles.
Whatever the case may be, my excitement for anything Divinity is through the roof. Even if this statue doesn’t turn out to be anything related to what Larian is working on, at least this whole thing has been an absolute blast to follow along with. Both wrong guesses and maybe right guesses!
What do you think? Is this Larian developer simply choosing his words carefully, or do you think this statue has nothing to do with Larian’s next game? Let us know below or on social media. I’m eager to see what other players think, or if anyone else has anything to add to the conspiracy!
