Larian Studios, which achieved historic success in the role-playing game world with Baldur’s Gate 3, is once again in the gaming world’s spotlight with its next project. Studio head Swen Vincke, speaking on the game’s second anniversary, stated that their new project will raise the bar even higher after BG3.
Baldur’s Gate 3 developer sets ambitious goals
No visual or technical details have been released about the yet-to-be-named new game. However, Vincke’s statements suggest that Larian is focusing on a much different and larger-scale project this time around.
Vincke, adding, “BG3 has given us the opportunity to create our next crazy project. No one knows how it will turn out, but I can guarantee you we’re working hard to entertain you. You’ll have a blast. And surprisingly, you’ll have a blast.”
Swen Vincke stated that he’s eager to show off the new game but expects players to be patient for a while longer. While development is still underway, it appears the project is in its early stages. Vincke expressed his confidence in the project, saying, “We need some time to get everything sorted out. But it will be worth it.”
Larian Studios attracted attention with Baldur’s Gate 3, garnering “extremely positive” reviews from nearly 700,000 users on Steam. The game set a new standard in the industry not only for its sales figures but also for its in-depth role-playing mechanics and player-choice-driven storytelling.
Whether the new game will be an RPG of similar scale is currently unknown. However, Vincke’s “crazy” remark suggests that the studio will once again challenge classic formulas and offer players an unconventional experience. Having raised player expectations with Baldur’s Gate 3, Larian promises both entertainment and surprises in this new project.
Previous statements from the studio have indicated that Larian will not continue the Baldur’s Gate series and is focusing on a completely original project. This new game, developed in line with this direction, will be the first major project in which Larian will demonstrate its creative identity more independently.
