New trademarks for the Divinity franchise have been spotted online ahead of The Game Awards, leading fans to believe the mystery of Geoff’s demonic statue in the Mojave Desert has finally been cracked.

As spotted by mp1st, trademarks for a Divinity logo and two icons have been registered in Europe. One icon, with its glowing orb and spindly leg design, certainly resembles the statue. Fans have therefore quickly jumped to the conclusion of Larian announcing Divinity: Original Sin 3 later this week.

Yet those hopes have been somewhat dashed by Larian’s director of publishing Michael Douse. “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,” he responded on social media.

So what does this relate to? Douse’s reply is in response to a leak of a PS5 Definitive Edition of Divinity: Original Sin 2, Larian’s 2017 RPG it developed before Baldur’s Gate 3 that released on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch. “Hey we weren’t meant to announce that yet,” wrote Douse.

So does that mean the trademarks relate to this new edition of Original Sin 2? Or is Larian working on a new game in the Divinity franchise, just not Original Sin 3?

The Divinity franchise began with Larian’s 2002 game Divine Divinity, and has received seven entries so far.

Larian founder and CEO Swen Vincke previously announced the studio’s next game won’t be Baldur’s Gate 4, nor will it be related to Dungeons & Dragons. It will be “still familiar enough, but different,” Vincke told Eurogamer, while the “tone, style, way of doing it, are for us certainly new – and I think very appealing.”

It’s unclear what Larian is working on next, though it seems a return to Divinity shouldn’t be ruled out. Either way, following the phenomenal success of Baldur’s Gate 3, the studio’s next game is hugely anticipated – and certainly worthy of a demonic statue.
