Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 won so many awards it became a problem for Larian Larian Studios\/Wizards of the CoastLarian Studios head Swen Vincke revealed that Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s success at awards shows actually caused problems for the developer, leading to an unexpected impact on its next projects. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has won big at recent awards shows, taking home the top prizes at The Game Awards, the British Academy Games Awards, and many others. However, according to Vincke, there is such a thing as too much success. In an interview with Edge (shared by GamesRadar), the CEO and game director revealed that Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s award show wins actually caused problems for the studio. \u201cIt affects development \u2013 there\u2019s a lot of [awards shows]. This has been a real problem,\u201d he said. To handle the number of accolades Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 was receiving, Larian began sending \u201crotating teams\u201d to awards shows to mitigate the impact on the studio\u2019s day-to-day work. Vincke and Larian are clearly grateful for the game\u2019s success and all of the awards they\u2019ve received, saying \u201cit\u2019s great that you have a moment of celebration \u2026 [awards shows are] important, and we really appreciate it.\u201d However, he also called the process \u201csurprisingly draining on the soul\u201d and said \u201cwe\u2019ve all been more emotional because we can\u2019t get closure. And you want to have closure at the end of a project.\u201d This is far from the first time Vincke has alluded to a desire to move past Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. He previously called a May 2024 appearance at the Digital Dragons Conference \u201cone of the last times I talk about BG3 development,\u201d citing a desire to \u201cfocus on new things.\u201d Additionally, Larian confirmed back in March 2024 that it is done with the Dungeons & Dragons IP and will not be making BG3 DLC or Baldur\u2019s Gate 4. As for what Vincke and his team are up to, we do know Larian is working on two games, which it calls \u201cvery ambitious RPGs\u201d \u2013 though we probably won\u2019t hear about either one anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
