Desert statue sparks fan detective work
A lonely statue popped up in the middle of the Mojave and the internet promptly lost its mind. What started as a mysterious bit of guerrilla marketing quickly became a full-blown guessing game, with fans dissecting every angle and wondering whether it’s more than just a pretty desert sculpture.
Trademark filings add fuel to the rumor bonfire
On December 9, 2025, three Divinity-related trademarks were registered in Europe — and their symbols line up with the markings on that statue. That kind of coincidence makes the theory that Larian is cooking up an announcement feel a lot less like wishful thinking and more like a cleverly staged hint.
Console listings and an accidental tease
This week, Sony’s servers briefly showed a PlayStation 5 entry for Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition. Larian’s Michael Douse reacted by saying the team “wasn’t meant to announce that yet,” which, naturally, only sent speculation into overdrive. Douse has also reportedly dismissed the idea of Divinity Original Sin 3 — so if something’s coming, it might not be a full-blown sequel.
Ratings, rumors and the double-header theory
Worth remembering: PEGI rated PS5 and Xbox Series versions of Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition back in November 2024, but those versions never actually arrived. Some outlets, like Push Square, think Larian could be planning a two-part reveal — a fresh next-gen re-release paired with a new franchise announcement. Double the news, double the confetti.
Switch status and the Nintendo angle
Original Sin 2’s Definitive Edition hit the Switch eShop in 2019 and is said to be compatible with the upcoming Switch 2, but many players would happily accept a proper next-gen refresh. If Nintendo-specific news drops, fans will be watching closely.
Bottom line — bring snacks
Between the desert statue, matching trademark art, server listings and a publisher doing a little damage control, it’s looking more likely that something Divinity-related will show up at The Game Awards. Whether it’s a shiny new port, a remaster, or a curveball announcement, keep your snacks nearby — this one’s shaping up to be entertaining.
