After Baldur’s Gate 3, Divinity scholar tries to unmask Larian’s next big RPG villain by painstakingly translating ancient symbols from behind-the-scenes footage
A Divinity fan and lore researcher has analysed symbols shown in behind-the-scenes footage from Larian Studios, hoping they reveal the antagonist of the developer’s next role-playing game after Baldur’s Gate 3. The investigation has prompted fresh speculation because Larian has confirmed it is working on a new RPG, but has not publicly identified its setting, story or villain.
The researcher painstakingly translated apparent in-universe writing and compared it with material from Larian’s Divinity games, looking for links to known characters and factions. The findings remain fan interpretation rather than confirmation: the footage may contain an intentional clue, but Larian has not verified any proposed connection or revealed details of its next project.
In short
- A fan is decoding footage for Larian’s next RPG clues.
- The theory links symbols to Divinity lore.
- No villain or game setting has been officially confirmed.
Explained simply
Larian Studios is the Belgian game developer behind Baldur’s Gate 3, a role-playing game set in the Dungeons & Dragons world, and its earlier Divinity series, which has its own setting and lore. Players of these games often study details in the stories and artwork for clues about how their fictional worlds fit together.
Larian has said it is making another role-playing game, but has not publicly explained its setting, plot or villain. The symbols examined by the fan researcher come from behind-the-scenes footage, and any translation or link to Divinity remains an interpretation that the studio has not confirmed.
The distinction matters because clues in promotional material can encourage discussion, but they do not establish what the new game is about. Until Larian shares more, the project’s story and any connection to Divinity are unknown.
