GRY Online spoke with the head of Larian Studios Swen Vincke during Digital Dragons 2024 and asked several questions about new projects from the creators Baldur’s Gate 3. The game designer explained under what code name the new game is being developed and what it could be.
In an interview, Sven Vincke admitted that the development is at a very early stage and that he cannot say much for the time being:
We are working on it. To be brutally honest, for now we want to know what it is.
In a conversation with the publication, he did hint in which direction the studio would like to move. Most likely, the new Larian game will not be a turn-based RPG, like the previous Baldur’s Gate 3 and the last two Divinity: Original Sin.
I like turn-based games, but I don’t miss action games either. You’ll have to wait and see. I take it as a compliment that you notice our penchant for experimenting, because we try different things. I don’t want to do the same thing over and over again.
Sven Vincke also said that the new game is being developed under the code name ‘Excalibur’, in honor of his dog’s name. This is a tribute to the tradition that developed during the creation of Baldur’s Gate 3, which was initially called “Project Gustav” – the exact same name as one of the studio head’s dogs.
Let’s not forget that Larian Studios announced the start of development on two new games in April. Then Sven Vincke called future projects ‘our best work in history’.
