Despite the lack of a new installment, Larian Studios is reportedly preparing to release a new Definitive Edition of Divinity: Original Sin 2. This version is expected to be a true native upgrade for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, enhancing the game’s performance and visuals. The leak regarding this new edition was first highlighted by the Twitter account PlayStation Game Size, which noted a PS5-native version listed briefly on the PlayStation Store. Douse humorously confirmed the leak's validity by stating, “Hey we weren’t meant to announce that yet.”

The anticipation for a new Divinity-related project has been fueled by recent trademark filings in the European Union, which hint at a potential announcement during The Game Awards. These trademarks, filed under various classes including video game software, suggest that Larian may be preparing to unveil something significant. However, it is important to note that none of the filings explicitly mention Divinity: Original Sin 3, leading to speculation that Larian might be working on a different title within the Divinity franchise.

While many fans express disappointment over the lack of a new Divinity: Original Sin title, some critics argue that Larian should focus on expanding the existing universe rather than moving on to new projects. The absence of a sequel could be seen as a missed opportunity to capitalize on the momentum generated by Baldur's Gate 3, which has garnered significant acclaim and a dedicated fanbase.
