Baldur’s Gate 3 has sparked a conversation about whether it should be considered a new standard for the RPG genre. Larian Studios founder Swen Vincke has shared his thoughts on the matter and tried to explain why he doesn’t buy into this whole discourse.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is climbing up the Steam Weekly charts. Larian Studio’s upcoming RPG managed to outperform all other premium titles on Valve’s store last week.

A few weeks prior to its launch, Baldur’s Gate 3 looks like one of the most promising RPGs in recent memory. However, some devs are urging players not to rate all other games in the genre by such a high standard, appealing to Larian Studios’ unique combination of vast experience and resources.

Prominent game developer and former BioWare producer Mark Darrah has shared his memories of creating the first Baldur’s Gate. Here are the lessons he learned during the process, including the importance of not chasing imaginary perfection.

Larian Studios was on the brink of bankruptcy when it was making Divinity: Original Sin. The team has grown almost 10 times since then, although it still faces a lot of challenges on its way to complete Baldur’s Gate 3.

Larian continues to expand and opens a new office in Barcelona. It consists of the BlitWorks development team, a studio known for porting games on different platforms.
