Larian's Post-Baldur's Gate 3 Ambitions: Crafting Exceptional RPGs with Integrity

Following the unprecedented success of Baldur's Gate 3, which garnered numerous awards including five BAFTAs, Larian's CEO Swen Vincke reflects on the studio's journey and its vision for the future. With a strong emphasis on community, player agency, and cinematic storytelling, Larian has distinguished itself in the RPG landscape. However, Vincke acknowledges the difficulties of navigating an oversaturated market and the pressure to sustain growth without compromising the studio's values. He emphasizes the importance of long-term thinking, collaborations, and learning from past experiences to drive innovation and success in the gaming industry. As Larian moves forward, Vincke remains committed to creating exceptional RPGs that resonate with players, while avoiding the pitfalls of unsustainable growth and the allure of short-term gains.
