Practically eight months after Larian’s new Divinity was unveiled with an, um, intense trailer on the Sport Awards, somebody has managed to discover a secret hidden inside it that went unnoticed until now that hints at a few of what we’re in for when the sport lastly launches. This comes from WolfheartFPS (through Polygon), who did a breakdown of the Divinity trailer on his channel yesterday. Particularly, he’s tearing right into a behind-the-scenes submit made on LinkedIn final week by Unit Picture, which collaborated with Larian on the cinematic. The brand new video reveals some up-close pictures and fashions from the trailer that we beforehand weren’t in a position to see on this stage of element, and WolfheartFPS has managed to seek out one thing fairly cool inside these close-ups. WolfheartFPS factors out that within the behind-the-scenes video, the writing on the crown worn by the outdated man being tortured/sacrificed is definitely decipherable, whereas within the trailer it’s not clear sufficient. After hours of labor and cautious research, WolfheartFPS decided that the runes have been doubtless consultant of Elder Futhark, a real-world Germanic, runic alphabet that’s the oldest of the runic alphabets on the earth. Elder Futhark has 24 complete runes, and WolfheartFPS believes that those on the crown might be roughly translated to “khaahs is kommng” or, phonetically, “chaos is coming.” That is vital on the earth of Divinity, on condition that Chaos is a central pressure of evil in Rivellon, and is the creator of hell and demons. Once we final heard from Chaos, it had been banished by the Council of Seven, however had tried to own a personality named Damian in a bid to return to the world. Although that appears to have failed, lots of people suppose (primarily based on cues elsewhere within the trailer) that Divinity shall be concerning the return of Chaos to the world after humanity rejects the gods, with the scene within the trailer displaying Lucien the Divine (or somebody supposed to symbolize him) being burned to indicate that rejection.
If that each one is senseless to you, don’t fear. All it is advisable know is that Chaos might be coming to Rivellon in Divinity, whether or not we prefer it or not. As for when that’s going to occur…we nonetheless don’t know, however we’d finest be ready to attend fairly some time.
