Hey folks, grab a slice because Larian Studios just dropped some killer news that’ll have CRPG fans cheering. Fresh off Baldur’s Gate 3 sweeping every award under the sun—like that team that wins the championship and then retires the jerseys—CEO Swen Vincke spilled the beans in a recent interview. They’re cooking up a brand new CRPG, no details on platforms or dates yet, but it’s gonna be all about innovative storytelling and those juicy player choices we love.
What We Know So Far
Swen didn’t name-drop the project or spill any gameplay deets, but he made it clear Larian’s not sitting on their laurels. BG3 was a home run, selling millions and proving turn-based RPGs can pack arenas. This new one’s in active development, which means it’s past the whiteboard sketches and into the real grind. Think of it like your favorite team scouting for the next big draft pick after a Lombardi Trophy.
For us regular players, this is huge. BG3 felt like hanging with buddies around the table, but on PC—deep choices, hilarious moments, and dragons that actually scared you. If they’re doubling down on that formula with fresh twists, count me in for pizza night 2.0.
Why It Matters for Your Game Shelf
Larian’s rise from Divinity: Original Sin underdogs to CRPG kings shows the genre’s alive and kicking. No more waiting years for the next isometric epic. Swen’s interview on PC Gamer and their blog hints they’re passionate about what made BG3 tick: reactivity, where your dumb decisions ripple through the story like a bad trade sending your fantasy team into the cellar.
Platforms? Who knows—PC for sure, probably consoles too, given BG3’s cross-play success. Release window? Foggy as a morning practice, but hey, good things take time. Larian’s not rushing; they’re crafting something special.
One thing I dig: Swen’s focusing on innovation without chasing trends. No battle royale mode or live-service nonsense here. It’s pure CRPG heart—choices that matter, stories that stick. In a sea of live-service fumbles, this is a solid ground game.
Look, we’ve all got our Baldur’s Gate 3 war stories: that one romance that went sideways or the evil playthrough that had us cackling. This new project promises more of that magic, evolved. Larian gets us casuals who want depth without a PhD in lore.
Quietly, I’m stoked they didn’t pivot to mobile cash-grabs post-success. The hobby’s better when studios stick to what they love, not what Wall Street dictates.
Bottom line: Larian’s passing the pigskin again. Keep an eye out, fire up BG3 for a refresher, and get ready for more epic tales.
Get out there and queue up some saves— the next adventure’s coming!
