Larian Studios head Swen Vincke suggested during an acceptance speech at an awards ceremony in Malaysia today that fans could expect the studio\u2019s next game in around 2028 or 2029. Speaking on stage at the SEA Game Awards 2024 where the company received a Special Recognition Award, Vincke said, \u201cWe need to work hard on the next game so we can be back here in five years\u201d. <\/p>\n

But speaking to IGN immediately afterwards, he walked it back, saying with a chuckle, \u201cI knew you\u2019d pick up on that. It was just a joke. I don\u2019t know, we\u2019ll release it when it\u2019s ready. They\u2019re big games and it takes time, so don\u2019t hold us to a date.\u201d<\/p>\n

Larian Studios opened multiple development studios around the world to aid with the development of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, as part of its \u201cfollowing the sun\u201d concept of 24-hour game development, with teams handing off work to the next time zone at the end of their work day to speed up development without the need for crunch. In addition to Kuala Lumpur, the company also has studios in Barcelona, Dublin, Guildford, Quebec, Warsaw and its original home of Ghent. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe make very large games,\u201d observed Vincke, explaining how the global teams work together for more efficient development. \u201cAn easy example to understand is testing the game. Our KL team can give the game to Europe at the end of their work day, and then Europe can give it to North America, and then they can give it back to KL \u2013 and that way we can test Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 in a week<\/a>, whereas usually we would need a month to test it. It doesn\u2019t work for every element but it works for quite a lot of things.\u201d<\/p>\n

They\u2019re big games and it takes time, so don\u2019t hold us to a date<\/p>\n

Vincke chose Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia as the location for Larian\u2019s Asia studio after he was impressed by the city\u2019s large English-speaking talent pool. \u201cThere was also a very vibrant art and animation industry here, so we thought there was a grounds to build from,\u201d he said. \u201cThe studio in KL owns quite a lot of the game. Dark Urge was made in Malaysia, and the lead scripter for House of Hope was here too. <\/p>\n

\u201cOne of our team members told me yesterday that she used to feel she was just an outsourcer, but now she feels like a game developer, so a shift has happened in their heads, which is nice to see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regarding its next project<\/a>, Larian has previously announced that it is making more than one game, at least one of which will seemingly be a brand new title instead of an entry in the Baldur\u2019s Gate or Divinity series. At the SEA Game Awards today, Vincke declined to comment on which of their multiple projects will be next or what kind of game it will be. But in more general terms, he said that following up a hit as massive as Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is \u201cvery stressy\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cExpectations are incredibly high, so I told the team, \u2018Just follow your gut, and we\u2019ll see where we end up\u2019,\u201d said Vincke. \u201cIt\u2019s OK to fail \u2013 failure has always been in the DNA of the studio; failing is part of creativity, and we have to remember that. I\u2019m happy that we\u2019re out of the circus now and we can focus on what we\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked about the core tenets of Larian\u2019s approach to game development, and elements he\u2019d like to take forward after Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, Vincke said, \u201cSomething that you would be proud to show your friends, and something that you would want to play. That\u2019s the core. If that\u2019s there, we\u2019ll be fine. These are very talented and skilled people, so if you give them freedom and trust them to do their best, you can\u2019t go wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n
