The gaming world is abuzz with speculation, and it all centers around a mysterious monolith that appeared in the California desert, only to be relocated to the heart of Los Angeles. But here's where it gets controversial: a recent trademark filing might have just spoiled the surprise, revealing the monolith's true purpose. Could this enigmatic structure be teasing a brand new Divinity title from Larian Studios? Let's dive into the details.
Earlier this week, Geoff Keighley sparked a frenzy of rumors with his posts about the glowing monolith. Fans and industry insiders alike began speculating wildly, linking it to upcoming titles like Diablo 4, Elder Scrolls 6, God of War, or even Lords of the Fallen 2. However, those in the know quickly debunked these theories. And this is the part most people miss: while some still believed it could be tied to The Elder Scrolls Online or a new FromSoftware game, the most compelling evidence now points to a new Divinity game.
MP1st uncovered a trio of trademark filings, including a redesigned Divinity logo and a symbol strikingly similar to the one on Keighley's monolith. This discovery comes on the heels of Larian's publishing director stating there are no current plans for Divinity: Original Sin 3. So, what does this mean? It’s highly likely that the monolith is promoting a fresh Divinity title, one that exists outside the Original Sin prequel series.
Adding fuel to the fire, a PlayStation Store database leak revealed that Divinity: Original Sin 2 is getting a Definitive Edition for the PS5. However, the monolith and the new trademarks seem to be hinting at something entirely new in the Divinity universe. Bold prediction: this could be Larian's next big move after the massive success of Baldur's Gate 3, which, by the way, is once again nominated for Best Community Support at The Game Awards.
Speaking of The Game Awards, the event is just around the corner, airing live from Los Angeles on December 11. This year's frontrunner is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which snagged a record-breaking 12 nominations. But let’s not forget the games that didn’t make the cut—check out our list of the biggest snubs for 2025.
