Divinity: Original Sin 3? Larian shuts down the rumors

After Baldur's Gate 3 turned Larian into everyone's favorite studio, the internet did what the internet does and started manifesting Divinity: Original Sin 3 out of thin air. Larian has now stepped in to pour cold water on the rumors. So is DOS3 happening or not? Here is the honest picture.

Divinity: Original Sin is the CRPG series that put Larian on the map long before Baldur's Gate 3, a pair of deep, systems-heavy, wildly reactive party RPGs that fans still adore. So naturally, with Larian riding high and free of Wizards of the Coast, a lot of people assumed a third Original Sin was the obvious next move. The rumor mill spun up fast, and Larian felt the need to address it directly.

What Larian actually said

Larian has pushed back on the specific rumors, tamping down the idea that Divinity: Original Sin 3 is the confirmed next project. What the studio has been consistent about is that it is now working on its own new things rather than more Baldur's Gate, having stepped away from Dungeons and Dragons entirely, and that it has multiple projects in early development.

The key nuance is that denying a specific rumor is not the same as ruling out a return to Divinity forever. Larian shutting down the chatter is really about managing expectations and timelines, not slamming the door on the series that made them. It is a "not the way you heard, and not right now" more than a hard "never."

So what is Larian actually making?

The studio has said it is building new original games, plural, and after the scale of Baldur's Gate 3, expectations are sky high for whatever comes next, Divinity-branded or not. Given how much love there still is for the Original Sin games, a return down the line would surprise no one, but for now the smart read is to take Larian at its word and not expect a DOS3 reveal tomorrow.

The takeaway: Divinity: Original Sin 3 is not the confirmed next Larian game, the recent rumors got ahead of reality, and the studio is heads-down on new original projects. Would you rather have DOS3 or a brand-new Larian world? Drop it in the comments.
