The Game Awards 2025 hype soared after a mysterious statue appeared in the middle of the desert near Los Angeles for weeks. While many fans speculated it was a hellish-themed reveal for a classic like Elder Scrolls Online, reliable sources have now linked the statue to Larian Studios, the team behind Baldur's Gate 3!

Just hours before the big reveal, new evidence sent speculation about Larian's next project into overdrive.

The Statue Mystery: What Was Being Teased?

This strange monument in the California desert featured a tentacled, eye-like symbol at its center. The most popular theories until now included:

1. Elder Scrolls Online (due to the demonic/Daedric imagery).

2. Diablo 4 (a new class or a shadowy update).

3. A completely new horror game.

But a recent trademark filing has turned all these predictions upside down.

All Signs Point to Larian Studios

The strongest clue came from two simultaneous trademark applications filed with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO):

1. Divinity Trademark: The same German law firm that handled Larian's previous games filed a new trademark for a product named "Divinity." (Divinity is Larian's RPG universe known for the Original Sin series, predating Baldur's Gate.)

2. Visual Evidence: The second application included a logo featuring the tentacled eye symbol seen on the desert monument. This matches the statue's central emblem exactly!

This match all but confirms that the true purpose behind the statue is a new Divinity project from Larian Studios.

Comments from Larian

Larian's Publishing Director Michael Douse posted cryptic messages on social media right after the leak.

Later, Douse clarified, "We currently have no plans for a new Divinity: Original Sin 3 game, but when we're ready to show what we're working on, you'll see it."

This specific wording sparked even more speculation: If it's not Original Sin 3, could it be a different, ambitious project set in the Divinity universe?

The Big Reveal Is Coming!

The mystery behind the statue will be revealed during The Game Awards 2025.
