Larian boss says Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has Easter egg for next game Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 director Swen Vincke revealed the game contains at least one Easter egg for Larian Studios\u2019 unannounced next game, which has players trying to figure out what the hint could be. Vincke, who is also the founder and CEO of Larian, teased the Easter egg in a Future Games Show interview after being asked if there\u2019s anything in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 that players haven\u2019t found yet. \u201cOne of the writers told me that she put something in there that was talking about our next game,\u201d he said. Vincke also revealed that Larian did the same thing with Divinity Original Sin 2, saying \u201cWe put in references to BG3 [in DOS2] and nobody found them \u2013 at least that I\u2019m aware.\u201d Vincke talks about the tease starting at 4:34 So far, Larian has been tight-lipped on its post-Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 plans. All we know right now is that the studio is working on \u201ctwo very ambitious RPGs,\u201d neither of which is Baldur\u2019s Gate 4. Unsurprisingly, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players reacted to Vincke\u2019s challenge by combing through Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 for hints and looking back at Divinity Original Sin 2 to see the kinds of hints Larian has previously slipped past fans. One Reddit user asked the community if they\u2019d found \u201cany absurd easter eggs that [don\u2019t] make any sense\u201d which could be subtly references to Larian\u2019s next project, calling it \u201ca scavenger hunt [to] find Sven\u2019s clues.\u201d Some (jokingly or otherwise) suggested the game could have something to do with rope or eels, citing the prevalence of the former and a random in-game book called Jake\u2019s Encyclopaedia of Eels. Still, others were more skeptical of the search given how subtle Divinity Original Sin 2\u2019s references to Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 were. An example is the character Tarquin referencing a \u201cmysterious race from another world \u2013 beings that feed on minds\u201d called Gustavchen, a nod to the mind flayers and BG3\u2019s codename, Project Gustav. DOS2 also included items called Mind Maggots, which fans think could be a reference to BG3\u2019s illithid tadpoles. This precedent had some doubting that Larian\u2019s hints this time around will be any clearer without context, with one commenter saying, \u201cI would\u2019ve been hard-pressed to understand what those clues meant without BG3 being released.\u201d While it may not get the results players hope for, the search for the Easter egg Vincke teased should help tide Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players over until Larian is eventually ready to share what it has in store.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
