For years, fans of Divinity: Original Sin have eagerly waited for news about a possible third entry in Larian Studiosā beloved RPG series. However, the studio has now made it clear: Divinity Original Sin 3 is not in development, and neither is a quirky project jokingly referenced onlineāa ātoilet simulator.ā
Instead, Larian is focusing on new creative directions following the massive success of Baldurās Gate 3, which reshaped the studioās priorities and opened new opportunities.
Larian Confirms No Plans for Divinity Original Sin 3
After the overwhelming global success of Baldurās Gate 3, fans naturally assumed Larian would return to its original flagship franchise, Divinity, and expand the universe further. But the studio has officially stated that Divinity Original Sin 3 is not happening at this time.
Why Isn’t DOS3 in Development?
There are three main reasons:
1. Creative Evolution After Baldurās Gate 3
Baldurās Gate 3 introduced a new level of ambition, quality, and global recognition for Larian. The team has expressed interest in exploring new worlds, stories, and gameplay experiences, rather than immediately jumping back into Divinity.
2. The Studio Needs a Breather
Developing Baldurās Gate 3 took nearly six years, hundreds of developers, and incredible creative pressure. Larian has emphasized the need for a āreset phaseā to plan future projects carefully.
3. The Divinity Universe Isnāt ClosedāJust Paused
While DOS3 is not happening now, Larian has not ruled it out forever. The Divinity universe remains important, but the studio wants to return to it when inspirationāand timingāalign properly.
What About the Toilet Simulator Rumor? Not Happening Either
In the midst of speculation, a humorous rumor emerged: Larianās next project was going to be a ātoilet simulator.ā
Larian quickly shut this idea down.
The truth is simple: no such game is in development, and the rumor likely began as a joke among fans.
This playful misinformation reflects how passionate the RPG community isābut also how quickly rumors can spread after a company achieves massive success.
What Is Larian Working On Next?
While the studio hasnāt revealed full details, they have confirmed:
1. Two New Major Projects Are in Development
These are believed to be original IPs, not tied to Baldurās Gate or Divinity.
They aim to build on Larianās strengthsādeep storytelling, player choice, and tactical combatāwhile exploring fresh genres and worlds.
2. The Games Will Be āMore Ambitious Than Everā
Larian has hinted that their next titles will take the studioās signature RPG design to a new level.
Expect:
- Larger worlds
- Deeper narrative branching
- More reactive environments
- More freedom in gameplay
3. Larian Wants to Surprise Players
Instead of sticking to predictable franchises, the studio is focusing on innovation. Fans will likely see something bold and unexpectedānot another Divinity entry and definitely not a toilet simulator.
The Legacy of Divinity: Original Sin Remains Strong
Even without a third installment, the first two Divinity: Original Sin games still hold massive influence in the RPG genre.
They helped revive isometric CRPGs globally and set the foundation for what would eventually become Baldurās Gate 3.
The fanbase remains active, and the games continue to sell well years after release.
Will Divinity Original Sin 3 Ever Happen?
The answer: possiblyājust not now.
Larian has repeatedly said they love the Divinity universe, and they may return to it someday.
But for now, the studio wants to explore new creative horizons.
Fans should expect:
- No DOS3 announcement anytime soon
- No comedic side projects like a toilet simulator
- New and exciting IPs from the studio
Final Thoughts
Larian Studios is entering a new era. While it may disappoint fans that Divinity Original Sin 3 isnāt happening right now, the studioās dedication to innovation means players can expect incredible new RPG experiences ahead.
