On August 17, Swen Vincke, game director of Baldur’s Gate 3 and CEO of Larian Studios, shared an article from PC Gamer on Twitter praising the role-playing game and added: “I am so proud of my team – none of us can believe that this is really happening. But the best part of all this is that we can continue to create similar games.”
Vincke continued, “Yes, they are risky and ambitious, and sometimes things go wrong, but that’s exactly why the studio was created. The reception of BG3 showed that there is a place for this kind of game. I hope we will have many more similar games.”
Yes, you understood correctly, Larian Studios will likely create more games similar to Baldur’s Gate 3 (Baldur’s Gate 4, anyone?), thanks to how well the game was received by fans after its release earlier this month.
It is likely that the Larian Studios team should continue doing what they do, especially considering that shortly after its release, Baldur’s Gate 3 became the second largest release of 2023 on Steam, trailing only Hogwarts Legacy. In addition, the role-playing game has claimed the title of the largest CRPG and turn-based game on Steam, not to mention the highest rating on Metacritic among all computer games of all time.
It is also worth noting that these data are solely based on PC players. Baldur’s Gate 3 will also be released on PS5 on September 6, 2023 (the same day as the upcoming role-playing game Starfield, if you are interested).
As for the future of Baldur’s Gate 3, Vincke previously revealed a rough roadmap for the game from Larian, which includes a hotfix, major Patch 1 (which will include over 1000 fixes and improvements), and Patch 2 (which will include player-requested features). After Vincke shared this, players hurried to share their wish lists for Baldur’s Gate 3, which included things like fixing the third act, autosaving, modding tools, and much more.
