The future of Divinity: Original Sin remains uncertain, and some other projects like a toilet simulator are firmly off the table—at least for now. But here's where it gets controversial: many fans and observers are eager for news, yet the developers at Larian Studios have made it clear that no official plans are in motion for a third installment in the acclaimed series.
As The Game Awards approaches, speculation ran wild when a mysterious monolith teaser (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/geoff-keighleys-demonic-game-awards-monolith-has-been-spotted-in-la/1100-6536779/) sparked rumors that it might be heralding Divinity: Original Sin 3. However, Larian Studios has publicly stated otherwise. Communications Director Michael Douse clarified via social media that the studio currently has no plans to develop Divinity: Original Sin 3. He added, "There aren't currently any plans for a new Divinity: Original Sin 3 game, but once we are ready to reveal what we've been working on, we will definitely let everyone know."
What exactly Larian is cooking up next remains a mystery, despite the studio’s success with Baldur's Gate 3. The team has confirmed that multiple projects are in various stages of development (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/larian-studios-ceo-reflects-on-two-years-of-baldurs-gate-3-and-teases-the-studios-next-crazy-thing/1100-6533660/), but a game about toilets? That is definitely not on the horizon. Douse also made it clear, "I can confirm we aren't working on a toilet simulator right now" (https://x.com/Cromwelp/status/1998487005353697312), highlighting how some playful or absurd ideas are simply not being pursued.
The ominous monolith teaser from The Game Awards also isn’t hinting at upcoming releases like Diablo 4, The Elder Scrolls 6, or the next installment in the God of War series (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/this-scary-the-game-awards-teaser-could-be-for-the-next-diablo-4-expansion/1100-6536594/). This further emphasizes the unpredictability surrounding the studio’s future projects.
Interestingly, Douse also responded to the leak of a supposed "Definitive Edition" of Divinity: Original Sin 2, spotted recently in a PlayStation Store database. He acknowledged the leak, saying, "Hey, we weren’t meant to announce that yet" (https://x.com/Cromwelp/status/1998477127478554899), leaving fans and followers wondering exactly when and how this version might be officially announced.
Meanwhile, Baldur's Gate 3 continues to garner recognition. It has once again been nominated for Best Community Support at The Game Awards (https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/all-the-game-awards-2025-winners-nominees/2900-7258/#1), and the winners will be revealed during the ceremony on Thursday, December 11. Of course, the suspense isn’t just about awards; it’s also about uncovering what that mysterious statue teaser was really promoting.
