It’s been two years since Baldur’s Gate 3 officially launched, and the impact it had on Larian Studios is still being felt. The studio’s head, Swen Vincke, recently shared some heartfelt thoughts about the game’s success and dropped a tantalizing hint about what’s next. If you’ve been waiting for the next big thing from the minds behind one of the best RPGs of recent times, well, it sounds like patience will pay off.
Vincke took to social media to reflect on the studio’s journey since the release of Baldur’s Gate 3. He called the experience “life changing” and hinted that the success of BG3 opened the door for the team to tackle their “next crazy thing.” But hold your horses, it’s not going to be Baldur’s Gate 4, so what exactly is this mysterious new project?
He admitted that the upcoming game is ambitious and that the team will need time to get everything right. “It’ll be worth it though,” he promised. It’s a tease that’s got fans talking, but the details remain tightly under wraps. What’s curious is how the studio’s path has shifted thanks to BG3’s reception, from crafting a favorite RPG to preparing up for something else entirely.
For those wondering if this next project will stick to the RPG formula or veer off into new territory, Vincke’s past comments suggest the team is focused on making something they want to play. That sounds like a good sign, right? But it also raises the question: how far will they push the boundaries this time around?
Here’s the original tweet from Swen Vincke for the whole vibe:
Crazy to think it’s only been two years. It’s truly been life changing. Probably worth writing about one day. But I can spoil the biggest takeaway. BG3 was what allowed us to do our next crazy thing. How that will pan out is anyone’s guess but I can assure you we’re working hard… https://t.co/bGBYZoSXGZ

Guess they’re hoping it works out as well as BG3 did. The studio’s reputation for quality RPGs means expectations are sky-high, and fans want to see if they’ll deliver another classic or take a wild new direction.
