Larian CEO Swen Vincke took to social media platform to reminisce about the development of Baldur’s Gate 3. The post comes in response to a short fan-made documentary that talks about how the studio was able to survive bankruptcy before it would get mainstream success thanks to the release of Baldur’s Gate 3.

While Larian had a storied history with RPGs, with titles like Divinity: Original Sin and its sequel, the studio had to originally go with crowdfunding to finance its previous titles. With Baldur’s Gate 3, however, the studio had a couple of critically successful RPGs under its belt when it approached the current company behind Dungeons & Dragons, Wizards of the Coast.

With his post on X, Vincke has indicated that the studio will be coming out swinging with its next outing to capitalize on the success it saw with Baldur’s Gate 3.

“Got me all nostalgia – it really has been an incredible journey so far. But the story ain’t over yet” wrote Vincke on X. “Stay tuned. Going to try to skip the dark night of the soul moment though if you don’t mind.”

It is worth noting that the two titles under development at Larian will not be direct sequels to Baldur’s Gate 3. Rather, both RPGs will be based on the studio’s own IP, and will not be tied to Dungeons & Dragons in any way. The studio mentioned this back in 2024, going on to state that it will not be bringing any more narrative content to Baldur’s Gate 3, and that its next game will not be Baldur’s Gate 4.

To help development of its new titles, Larian also opened a new studio in Warsaw, Poland last year. Announcing the new studio, the developer stated that it will be using all the talent it can get to realize the visions behind its two ambitious RPGs.

Baldur’s Gate 3 was released back in 2023, and was a critical and commercial success for Larian. The game also managed to sweep up almost every award it was nominated for. If you want more details about the RPG, check out our review. You can also learn about the next major update here.
