### The Enigma of the Game Awards Statue and the Latest Divinity Trademark

Geoff Keighley, famous for being the host of The Game Awards, has become a focal point of speculation within the gaming community regarding a statue that some fans have ominously associated with a possible upcoming title from Larian Studios. The statue, commonly referred to as the “hell statue,” has generated intrigue as role-playing game fans seek to link it to new progressions in the gaming realm.

On Tuesday, a European trademark application was submitted under the title **Divinity**, featuring a stylized graphic that closely resembles the visuals on the Game Awards statue. This submission bolsters the idea that something associated with the **Divinity** franchise may be on the way. The trademark covers a broad array of categories, including computer game programs, video game software, literature, apparel, and board games—essentially encompassing a vast range of entertainment offerings.

In addition to the **Divinity** trademark application, two more submissions presented similar imagery. One illustrates a figure trapped in a spiderweb, while another reflects the symbol from the hell statue, intensifying fan speculation. However, the application does not clearly indicate any direct link to the statue or to major Larian titles such as **Divinity: Original Sin** or **Baldur’s Gate 3**.

In light of the trademark speculations, **Kotaku** contacted Larian Studios for clarification. A representative confirmed that while they are planning to launch **Divinity: Original Sin 2** on next-gen consoles, there are no current announcements regarding **Divinity: Original Sin 3**. Larian’s publishing director, Michael Douse, addressed the rumors, affirming that there are no immediate intentions for a new **Divinity** title but hinted at upcoming announcements regarding their current projects.

Larian Studios is presently working on two different games, one of which carries the codename **Excalibur**. In wake of the considerable success of **Baldur’s Gate 3**, which was released in 2023, expectations surrounding new endeavors are elevated. Larian has established its reputation in the gaming world since the launch of its inaugural **Divinity** title—**Divine Divinity**—in 2002, leading to the creation of several sequels, expansions, and updated editions.

Despite the approaching Game Awards, where announcements are eagerly awaited, it seems improbable that Larian Studios will offer extensive insights into the trademark application or its connection to the much-debated statue. Nevertheless, the gaming community continues to hold hope for significant announcements ahead, potentially extending beyond merely an enhanced version of **Divinity: Original Sin 2**, as anticipation swells leading to the event. Fans are keen to discover whether the trademark indeed bears meaningful implications for the future of Larian’s celebrated **Divinity** franchise.
