Divinity is the next game coming from Larian Studios, the team behind the award-winning, genre-defining Baldur’s Gate 3, and confusingly, it’ll actually be the seventh game in the Divinity series. Divinity was revealed during The Game Awards 2025 after a mysterious tease with a statue (that we now know to be the hellstone) in the Mojave Desert, but all we’ve seen so far is a three-minute-long cinematic trailer.
However, seven months after that trailer, content creator WolfheartFPS claims to have decoded a message that was hidden in plain sight during the reveal. The trailer opens with an old man chained up, with barbed wire and metal wrapped around his head and lacerations all over his body. He’s also wearing a spiky crown engraved with symbols.
Four days ago, 3D animation and visual effects studio Unit Image shared a behind-the-scenes video of their work with Larian Studios on the cinematic trailer via LinkedIn. In this video, the model of the man is shown in much greater detail, including the symbols on the crown.
Wolfheart thinks these symbols are based on Elder Futhark, a writing system used during the Migration Period (300-600). It’s the oldest runic alphabet we know of, and is named after the phoneme of the first six runes, which essentially make F, U, Th, A, R, and K sounds.
