Summary

Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke has explained that the studio will release its next game "when it's ready".
Vincke claimed during an acceptance speech at the SEA Game Awards 2024 that Larian's next game could launch in 2029, though this was quickly walked back as a joke in a later interview.
Instead, Vincke explained that he doesn't actually know when Larian's next game will launch, and said "don't hold us to a date".

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Baldur's Gate 3 has been absolutely massive for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Larian Studios, turning the plucky developer of excellent CRPGs into one of the games industry's most celebrated and illustrious powerhouses. Naturally, all that success has people wondering what's next for Larian, especially since the studio explained that it wouldn🎃't be continuing with Baldur's Gate or Du♍ngeons & Dragons.

Work began on Larian's next game after Baldur's Gate 3 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:back when the game first launched, and development 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:officially 🤪"lifted off" in July t🐼his year following a summit held by the developer. We know that the studio has two games in the works at the same time, and that the next one out the gates 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:will be smaller ❀in scale than Baldur's Gate 3, but we still don't know when we can expect it.

For a moment, it seemed as though Larian CEO Swen Vincke dropped a clue during an acceptance speech at the SEA Game Awards 2024, as he claimed that Larian needed to work hard so that "we can be𓆉 back here in five years." That would make the release window for Larian's next game some point in 2029, though Vincke was quick to backtrack in a later interview.

Baldur's Gate 3 Head Says Larian's Next Game Will Release "When It's Ready"

, 🅷Vincke stressed that his comments that 𒁃he made on stage were a joke, and that Larian doesn't actually have any plans right now for its next game's release window.

It was just a joke. I don’t know, we’ll rele▨ase it when it’s ready. ꦫThey’re big games, and it takes time, so don’t hold us to a date.”

V𒊎incke may have been joking when he said 2029, but it's 🉐very likely we'll be waiting that long for Larian's next game. We know that game development times are super long these days, with around five years becoming the standard, and Baldur's Gate 3 took a whopping seven years to make from beginning to release.

Of course, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Larian is a big f🌄an of early access t𓄧oo, and will likely go that route again with its n𓆏ext game, so it probably won't be another seven years before we get to play whatever the studio is working on. That being said, it sounds as though Larian is in no rush to release its next game, and I'm sure that fans of Baldur's Gate 3 will remain patient if it means that they get to play another banger, whether it be in 2029 or beyond.
