While half the internet debates whether Geoff Keighley's strange monolith in the Mojave Desert is a portal to Diablo 4 or a structure The Elder Scrolls 6the real answer was hidden in plain sight, not in the wilderness, but in the legal records. If we leave aside the “noise” of social media and apply forensic analysis to trademarks, the evidence is irrefutable: the king of RPGs, Larian Studios, is about to reclaim its throne in The Game Awards with the return of Divinity.
The “smoking gun” is in the logo, not in the sand
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

The key that solves the mystery in The Game Awards It is not the demonic aesthetic of the statue, but a specific symbol engraved on it. A door or portal with a very particular design. Cross-referencing this design with recent intellectual property databases, we found an exact match. A new trademark features a logo virtually identical to the monolith.
But expert analysis goes beyond the drawing. The registration was carried out by the law firm Ihde & Partner RechtsanwƤlte. To the untrained eye, this means nothing; but for those of us who follow the industry, this is the same law firm that has historically handled the intellectual properties of Larian Studios, including the licensing procedures. Divinity: Original Sin. The legal connection is as strong as a confession signature. Hence there is a strong suggestion and connection between this new title and the The Game Awards.
Why Divinity and not Baldur's Gate 4?
Many expected Larian to capitalize on the monumental success of Baldur's Gate 3 with a direct sequel or DLC, but this strategic move is much more interesting. Return to Divinityits own intellectual property (IP), means that the studio no longer has to share profits or creative decisions with Wizards of the Coast (owners of Dungeons & Dragons).
This teaser of The Game Awards suggests that Larian is ready to apply all the budget, technology and lessons learned in BG3 to his own universe. Let's imagine a Divinity with the cinematic production values that won the GOTY last year. That's what this monolith represents: the complete emancipation of Larian as the dominant Western RPG power.
What The Game Awards will really reveal to us
It is important to note that Michael Douse, Larian's publishing director, has played the game by saying that they are not working on “Divinity: Original Sin 3.” However, the trademark registration is simply “Divinity.” This could indicate a “reboot”, a massive spin-off, or a new numbered installment that abandons the “Original Sin” subtitle. In any case, there is no more appropriate setting to present a similar title than in the The Game Awards.
Geoff Keighley knows he has the most powerful revelation of the year in his hands. Discarded god of war, Devil and Bethesda titles by their own creators, the way is clear for Larian to steal the show in The Game Awards. This Thursday, we won't just see a trailer. In addition, we will see confirmation that the Belgian studio is now the one setting the pace for the industry. Are you ready to return to Rivellon with next-generation quality?
