Ultimately, no definitive answer emerged before the AMA, prompting fans to ask Vincke directly. He encouraged them to dig deeper, suggesting that a “high-quality version of the trailer” would hold the key to the puzzle.
The breakthrough apparently arrived shortly thereafter. On social media, Larian’s director of publishing, Michael Douse, was asked about the lingering spectrogram mystery. His response was telling: “As I understand it, somebody actually figured it out.”
While Larian hasn’t officially crowned a winner, meticulous detective work pointed toward a specific moment in the Divinity reveal trailer. One Reddit user noted a curiosity at the 2:28 mark. By running that specific audio segment through a spectrogram, they discovered the hidden silhouette of a Hellstone. When placed alongside Vincke’s original header, the match was unmistakable.

Now, the community is debating whether the timestamp itself—2:28—holds further secrets. Theories range from a potential announcement on February 28th to a more ambitious release window in early 2028.

While it remains to be seen if the Hellstone discovery leads to a larger reveal, it demonstrates the incredible attention to detail within the Larian community. One thing is certain: fans will be scrutinizing every waveform of future trailers with newfound intensity.
In other news, Larian has clarified that Divinity’s character models will remain AI-free: “I can promise that every part of the game’s anatomy is being handcrafted with care.”
