Speculation about the mysterious monolith teaser for The Game Awards has been swirling, with many fans hoping it signaled the announcement of Divinity: Original Sin 3. Larian Studios has now definitively shut down those hopes, confirming the studio is not currently developing a sequel to its acclaimed RPG series. The developer also took a moment to humorously dismiss rumors of a more unconventional project.
Michael Douse, Larian’s publishing director, addressed the community directly on social media. He stated plainly that there are no current plans for Divinity: Original Sin 3. He added that the studio will share details of its future projects when the time is right. Following the monumental success of Baldur’s Gate 3, the studio’s next move remains a closely guarded secret, though it is known to have several titles in development across different stages of production.
In a lighter follow-up, Douse also clarified one particularly odd rumor. “I can confirm we aren’t working on a toilet simulator at this moment,” he posted, putting that peculiar bit of speculation to rest. Reports also indicate the enigmatic monolith is not related to other major franchises like Diablo 4, The Elder Scrolls 6, or a new God of War title.
Douse also commented on a separate recent leak. A listing for a Definitive Edition of Divinity: Original Sin 2 appeared in a PlayStation Store database, prompting a reaction from the publishing boss. “Hey, we weren’t meant to announce that yet,” he remarked. An official reveal for this updated version is now anticipated, though its timing remains uncertain.
The spotlight will remain on Larian this week as Baldur’s Gate 3 is nominated for Best Community Support at The Game Awards. The ceremony on December 11th may finally solve the puzzle of the monolith teaser, revealing what new game or project it actually represents. The event will also feature numerous other announcements, categories, and nominees, alongside discussions about the balance between celebrating creative work and accommodating the commercial realities of such a large-scale show.
