Swen Vincke teases life after Baldur's Gate 3

Gamer excitement is mounting as Larian Studios begins hinting at the successor to their smash hit, Baldur's Gate 3. Swen Vincke, the head of Larian Studios, has tantalized fans with news that after four months of writing, the first act of their next game is taking shape. Although still under wraps, speculation suggests that it may stick to Larian's RPG expertise, potentially featuring a three-act structure. Vincke's tweets convey genuine enthusiasm but caution that a full reveal, and potentially more gameplay involving tough choices and immersive storytelling akin to Baldur's Gate 3, is still a ways off. With Baldur's Gate 3 solidifying Larian Studios' mark on the RPG genre, expectations are high for what fantasy or perhaps new settings or genres they might explore next. No announcements about Baldur's Gate 3 DLCs or expansions have been made, leaving room for anticipation in the gaming community for more content from the rich universe created by Larian Studios.

Swen Vincke is the founder and current head of Larian Studios, known for the critically acclaimed RPG series Divinity: Original Sin and Baldur's Gate 3. His role involves overseeing game development and creative direction within the studio.

Baldur's Gate 3, developed by Larian Studios, is a role-playing game that takes inspiration from the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop RPG system. It's renowned for its deep storytelling, player choice, and tactical combat. The game has been well-received by both critics and players for pushing the boundaries of the CRPG (computer role-playing game) genre. Larian Studios, previously known for their Divinity series, earned wide acclaim with the Divinity: Original Sin games, which were praised for their interactivity, complex narratives, and co-op gameplay. The anticipation for their next project builds on the studio's reputation for delivering high-quality narrative-driven experiences in the RPG realm.
