Baldur’s Gate 3 lead says the D&D RPG is 'what allowed us to do our next crazy thing,' assuring Larian Studios is 'working hard to ensure you’ll have plenty of fun' with its new game

“What Allowed Us to Do Our Next Crazy Thing”

Here’s the gist of what Vincke had to say (wrapped in what we can only imagine is peak Larian-level excitement): Baldur’s Gate 3 isn’t just a one-off masterpiece. The success of the D&D-inspired RPG has opened the door for the team to go even bigger, brighter, and bonkers with their next venture. And, if BG3’s unprecedented balance of deep narrative, high-stakes choices, and chaotic multiplayer moments is any indication, we’re all in for an absolute ride when their next title eventually drops.

Oh, and don’t worry about Larian suddenly getting a case of senioritis. According to Vincke, BG3 isn’t a “been there, done that” situation for the team. They’re doubling down on ensuring Baldur’s Gate 3 continues to feel fresh, packed with engaging fixes and content to keep that loyal fandom thriving.

More Epilogues? Yes, Please!

Some of the best news to come from recent Larian updates is that the studio isn’t just leaving us to fend for ourselves post-launch. Fewer buggy romances? Polished endings? Ensuring Astarion doesn’t just mysteriously vanish mid-campaign? Yes, to all of the above. “The team is working hard to ensure you’ll have plenty of fun,” says Vincke, and you best believe us BG3 players are holding you to it, Swen.

It’s rare that a dev team keeps this much momentum months after their game lights the industry on fire. Adding robust epilogues and tuning campaigns beyond the finish line? That’s like stepping up to DM the most chaotic group of murder hobos and sticking around for all their absurd requests even after the campaign ends. Respect.

Why Baldur’s Gate 3 Is an Industry Game-Changer

If you’ve somehow missed the memo (or were unreasonably holding out for the PS5 launch), Baldur’s Gate 3 didn’t just revive a legendary franchise; it outright flipped what we thought the modern RPG could look like. From weaving player-driven storytelling into some of the best game mechanics this side of a D20 to setting an almost impossible-to-beat critical standard, BG3 is why we’re even talking about Larian’s future in such feverish tones.

The game hit a sweet spot that manages to grab longtime D&D fans with its rich lore and deck-out newbies with intuitive gameplay. Whether you’re min-maxing your Bard or hilariously rolling crit fails as a Barbarian trying to romance, Larian found a way to make even failure feel addictively rewarding. BG3 isn’t just replayable – it’s basically infinite in its possibilities. No wonder Vincke and his crew are dreaming even bigger. They’ve just delivered something most studios couldn’t manage in a decade.

What’s Next? The Plot Thickens

Here’s the million-dollar question we’re all tossing around in hushed late-night Discord sessions – what is Larian’s “next crazy thing”? With the likes of Divinity Original Sin and Baldur’s Gate 3 behind them, the studio has established its reputation as a storytelling juggernaut with an unmatched creative edge. Wherever they go next, you can bet we’ll be rolling up our party like the mildly sleep-deprived, emotionally invested gamers we all are.

One popular fan theory? A potential Divinity Original Sin 3. After all, we’ve been itching for a return to Rivellon, and another addition to the DOS series would mean Vincke and the team building on a rich, existing framework—but with an even wilder toolkit now at their disposal. Or could this new “crazy thing” be something entirely new? A sci-fi RPG, perhaps? Given Larian’s track record for breaking genre conventions, it wouldn’t be totally out of left field.

Hold Onto Those Character Sheets

Until Larian decides to shine some much-deserved light on their next big adventure, we’ll be here, gleefully maxing out our hours in Baldur’s Gate 3. Whether we’re nurturing Tav’s morally questionable antics or modding in our 17th random playthrough, BG3 is the kind of game that doesn’t just evolve over time; it feels alive. A living, breathing masterclass in why RPGs still matter.

For now, we can rest assured that Larian Studios is “working hard” to give us everything we need to keep falling in love with Baldur’s Gate 3. And when the time comes for their next chapter? You know all eyes will be glued to whatever trailer they finally drop. Guess we better keep rolling the dice.
