Larian Studios CEO confident about company\u2019s future beyond Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Larian Studios\/Wizards of the CoastLarian Studios CEO Swen Vincke has said that the strategy shift away from Baldur\u2019s Gate in the company\u2019s future was \u201cthe right thing for Larian.\u201d The news that Larian Studios will not be making any additional games or content within the Baldur\u2019s Gate franchise was met with general dismay from players. Larian was widely praised for their vision and delivery of the RPG, and amassed a significant amount of goodwill from the community as a result. However, it was announced that the Baldur\u2019s Gate IP will return to Wizards of the Coast, while Larian moves onto other projects in the future. Vincke said that the studio is still focused on updating Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, a commitment that has brought consistent new content and bug fixes to the game. On Twitter, Vincke said: \u201cCounter expectations but I\u2019ve never been more sure about a strategy shift. This is the right thing for Larian. \u201cI understand there will be disappointment because people fell in love with what we created but it was a story with a beginning, middle and an end and it doesn\u2019t need more. \u201cThe team has grown a lot during Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 and I think you can be very excited for what that growth means for our next game.\u201d While many players were disappointed by the news, some were more neutral on it, and called on the community to see the brighter side. One player on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 subreddit told others to \u201cstop doomposting\u201d, saying: \u201cThey will make other games, and they will probably be good, because people at Larian have good heads on their shoulders. \u201cBaldu\u2019s Gate 3 isn\u2019t good because it\u2019s a DnD property, it\u2019s good because of Larian. Literally the best lesson about art I learned watching movies throughout my life is to completely disregard the franchise of the movie and look at who\u2019s directing it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
