What’s Next for Larian Studios After Baldur’s Gate 3?

Swen Vincke, the CEO of Larian Studios, recently announced at GDC 2024 that there are no plans for a sequel or expansion to the critically acclaimed Baldur’s Gate 3. This news may come as a disappointment to fans who were eagerly anticipating more content related to the Dungeons & Dragons universe. According to Vincke, the studio is ready to explore new horizons and is currently working on something completely different from their previous projects.

Vincke used a metaphor about a dog named Gustav to describe the relationship between Baldur’s Gate 3 and the upcoming project. He stated that while Gustav (Baldur’s Gate 3) has been an important part of their journey, it’s time to say farewell and welcome a new pet into the fold. This implies that Larian Studios is ready to embrace a fresh start and create something innovative and exciting for their audience.

As fans eagerly await more information about Larian Studios’ mysterious new project, speculation runs rife about what it could potentially be. Some believe that the new project might have some connection to Baldur’s Gate 3, either in terms of storyline or gameplay mechanics. Considering Larian Studios’ success with the Divinity series, a new installment in this fantasy RPG franchise could also be a possibility. However, there is also a chance that Larian is venturing into uncharted territory and working on something entirely different and unexpected.

While the details about Larian Studios’ upcoming project remain shrouded in mystery, one thing is for certain – fans and critics alike are eagerly anticipating what the studio has in store for them. With a track record of delivering high-quality, innovative games, Larian Studios has built a reputation for excellence in the gaming industry. As they set their sights on new horizons and bid farewell to Baldur’s Gate 3, it will be fascinating to see what they have in store for their audience in the coming months and years. One thing is certain – all eyes will be on Larian Studios as they embark on this new and exciting journey.
