What are Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian Studios doing next?
Larian StudiosWith Baldur’s Gate 3 marking another triumph for Larian Studios, many are curious about their future endeavors. Could more innovative titles be on the horizon from the creators of the Game of the Year winner?
Larian Studios, renowned for Divinity Original Sin 2 and now Baldur’s Gate 3, has certainly established a loyal fan base.
They have established themselves as one of the big players in the world of game development. However, their passion and the effort they put into their titles have created hype around the studio and fans want to learn about their next project.
Here is what we know about Larian Studios’ next project post-Baldur’s Gate 3.
What is Larian Studios’ next game post-Baldur’s Gate 3?
Larian Studio has not officially revealed its next game, but it has said it is working on “two very ambitious RPGs.”
The developer teased its ongoing projects on May 20, 2024 while announcing a new Warsaw-based studio.
Previously, Larian founder and CEO Swen Vincke, referenced the studio’s next title while reacting to Baldur’s Gate 3’s eight Game Awards nominations.
Vincke called the nods “very motivating,” and went on to say “I wish I could tell you about our next big game but this is really encouraging us to ensure it pushes many boundaries. I’m very excited about it.”
What exactly that boundary-pushing game remains unclear, though we do know one important fact: It won’t be Baldur’s Gate 4.
In March 2024, Vincke confirmed that, while he knew fans would be disappointed in the decision, Larian was walking away from Baldur’s Gate and the Dungeons & Dragons IP altogether. Hasbro confirmed the following month that it is “talking to lots of partners and being approached by a lot of partners” in a search for a studio to make Baldur’s Gate 4.
As for what Larian’s next game could be, Divinity Original Sin 3 is a likely candidate. In a July 2023 interview with IGN, Larian confirmed plans to eventually make a new Divinity game, though the exact timescale for that is still unknown. In short Divinity Original Sin 3 is coming, but it is hard to say when.
Whatever Larian has in store next, it’s likely we won’t hear concrete information for quite some time, as it’ll certainly take a while for the studio to make an ambitious follow-up to Baldur’s Gate 3.
