The gaming world has been buzzing ever since Geoff Keighley, host of The Game Awards, shared a cryptic, demonic statue earlier this week. While wild theories ranged from a Diablo IV expansion to a new God of War, insiders quickly shot those down. Now, convincing evidence suggests the ominous artwork is actually heralding the long-awaited return of a beloved CRPG series: Divinity.
The breakthrough comes from a report by MP1st, which discovered several freshly filed European trademarks likely tied to Larian Studios' next project. The filings, which include distinct logos and artwork, are labeled under the "Divinity" name and linked to the same applicant. For fans, the visual style is immediately familiar.
The most damning piece of evidence? When the trademark's icon is superimposed over Keighley's mysterious statue, the similarities are too precise to be a coincidence. The designs also show notable, intentional differences from the artwork used for Divinity: Original Sin 2 and other past titles, signaling something new.
Report: TGA Statue Mystery Solved? New Divinity Trademark Uncovered as New Icon Matches Statue
This trademark discovery isn't the only clue. The rumor mill began churning in earnest on December 8th when known leaker eXtas1s posted an unexplained image from the Divinity series. While their track record isn't flawless, the timing alongside the trademark filings is highly suggestive.
A Potential Double Dose of Divinity News
The clues aren't just pointing to a brand-new game. It appears Larian Studios might have a one-two punch for fans, particularly those on consoles. Earlier in 2024, a PEGI rating appeared for *Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition* on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. This week, notable dataminer Playstation Game Size found evidence of the title on the PlayStation Network backend—an activity that typically precedes an official announcement or shadow drop within days or weeks.
While Original Sin 2 has been available on PS4 and Xbox One, it has never been optimized for the current generation of hardware. Re-releasing the acclaimed RPG would be a perfect way to satiate fans waiting for a true sequel and introduce a new audience to the series' deep, tactical gameplay.
Looks like The Game Awards statue may have been solved.

New trademarks for Divinity: Original Sin were filed in Europe today.

If true, I'm EXTREMELY hyped for a new Larian game and it 100% warrants this.https://t.co/p7PCRmLppE pic.twitter.com/I2nwR2aNiZ
Why a New Divinity Game is a Big Deal
In the colossal shadow of Baldur's Gate 3, it's easy to forget that Larian's Divinity series was already a critical and commercial powerhouse. Divinity: Original Sin 2 (2017) alone sold over 7 million copies and is widely considered one of the greatest CRPGs ever made. Many fans hold a special affection for its more open-ended, systemic gameplay and magic interaction, which offers a different flavor of freedom compared to the more structured D&D rules of Baldur's Gate 3.
After several canceled spin-offs in the past, the success of BG3 seems to have given Larian the confidence, resources, and perfect timing to return to their original flagship franchise. The discovered trademarks, coupled with the console re-rating and high-profile TGA tease, create a compelling case that the wait for Divinity 3—or whatever it may be called—could finally be over.
Skeptics will, rightly, wait for the official word at The Game Awards on December 12th, where the statue's meaning will be revealed. But for now, the pieces on the table form a very clear, and very exciting, picture for CRPG enthusiasts everywhere.
