ICARO Media Group
In an exciting announcement, Larian Studios has revealed that the upcoming mod support update for Baldur's Gate 3 will serve as a significant turning point for the company's involvement with the game. While not bidding farewell to the project entirely, Larian Studios will be shifting their focus towards new endeavors, leaving the game's future updates in a state of reduced support.
Baldur's Gate 3 recently left its early access phase, receiving praise from gamers and critics alike. However, Larian Studios CEO, Swen Vincke, emphasized that the team is eager to explore new horizons rather than sticking to the same formula.
Vincke assured fans that critical bug fixes will continue to be addressed, but the level of support will be diminished compared to the intense dedication shown during the game's initial release. This move is seen as a natural progression, given the approaching one-year anniversary of Baldur's Gate 3's release in early August and its four-year journey from early access to a complete RPG experience.
As Larian Studios looks forward to new projects, they have expressed their enthusiasm for creating original worlds and pushing boundaries. Vincke mentioned that the studio's creative spirit yearns for innovation, and they are thrilled about the upcoming games they are working on.
With an expanded team, including a new studio in Poland, Larian Studios aims to deliver their best work ever with their two new games, continuing to capture the passion and acclaim that fueled Baldur's Gate 3's success. The developers' commitment to excellence is evident in their plans for captivating narratives, stunning visuals, and engaging gameplay mechanics.
While bidding adieu to Baldur's Gate, fans can expect Larian Studios' future projects to follow a similar early access model, providing players the opportunity to be part of the developmental process. Vincke expressed his optimism, stating that he believes their next ventures will surpass expectations and deliver an unforgettable gaming experience.
As Larian Studios enters this new chapter, they are eager to explore uncharted territories while keeping the same enthusiasm and passion that made Baldur's Gate 3 a beloved RPG.
