AsBaldur’s Gate 3is developed by Larian Studios, we can only hope that this new game meets the same level of quality ofDivinity: Original Sin 2. The BioWare developedBaldur’s Gateand its sequel are some of the most important games ever made, influencing countless games with RPG mechanics, soBaldur’s Gate 3definitely has a lot to live up to.
That being said, Swen Vincke, Creative Director at Larian Studios, seems confident in his studio’s game. “Baldur’s Gate means so much to so many people. It’s a great responsibility but I think we’re ready for it. We’re all about creating reactive, systemic worlds that respect player agency and having a chance to apply our team’s skillset in a universe as rich as Dungeons & Dragons is a lot of fun. We’re working very closely with Wizards to bring an unprecedented level of immersion to the realm of Faerun and I can’t wait to show the world what our team cooked up,” he said.
