Excitement swept through the Divinity: Original Sin community recently when Larian Studios briefly changed its Twitter handle to @divinity, sparking speculation that the developer was about to announce Divinity: Original Sin 3. However, Larian Studios has now clarified that the Twitter handle change was unrelated to any confirmation of a new game in the series.
Why the Rumor Started
After the huge success of Baldur’s Gate 3 — which sold over 15 million copies and won numerous awards — Larian Studios became a leading name in RPG development. With Baldur’s Gate 3 set to not have a sequel from Larian, fans have been eagerly speculating about what’s next for the studio. The brief Twitter handle switch to @divinity was seen by many as a hint towards Divinity: Original Sin 3, intensifying the rumors.
Larian Studios’ Official Explanation
Michael Douse, Larian Studios’ Publishing Director, addressed the rumors directly. He explained that the Twitter handle change was part of a routine process to “take stock of what we own.” Previously, the Divinity series did not have an official Twitter handle, leaving the name open to misuse by scammers. To prevent this, Twitter transferred ownership of these handles to Larian Studios.
Due to a system error, Larian’s main Twitter account temporarily appeared as @divinity, causing the confusion. Douse emphasized this was simply an administrative update and not an indication that Divinity: Original Sin 3 is in development.
What This Means for Fans
Fans looking forward to the next Divinity title will have to stay patient. They continues to focus on supporting its current titles and has yet to announce any official plans for Divinity: Original Sin 3. Meanwhile, the studio’s proven track record ensures that when they are ready to reveal new projects, the news will be exciting and well worth the wait.
While Divinity: Original Sin 3 remains unconfirmed, Larian Studios remains a powerhouse in the RPG world. The studio’s transparency about rumors and commitment to quality development only strengthens anticipation for whatever comes next.
