“We are on an adventure to make the best RPG that we’ve ever made,” said Director Swen Vincke, “and that has required us to reinvent all of our tools, our technology, our processes, but above all, also grow our team.”
According to Larian Studios, Baldur’s Gate III “will push the boundaries of the RPG genre” the game is expected to deliver a rich narrative with “unparalleled player freedom, high-stakes decisions, unique companion characters and memorable combat.”
“Baldur’s Gate means so much to so many people. It’s a great responsibility but I think we’re ready for it,” said Swen Vincke, Creative Director at Larian Studios. “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.”
“Partnering with Larian, a studio that combines a remarkable history of critically-acclaimed titles with a genuine passion for one of the most iconic locations in Dungeons & Dragons, has been a terrific experience,” said Chris Cocks, President of Wizards of the Coast. “We believe fans of the Baldur’s Gate saga – and even those new to the series – will be thrilled to step into this epic story.”
The game is being produced in collaboration with the Dungeons & Dragons team at Wizards of the Coast, Baldur’s Gate III is based off current Dungeons & Dragons mechanics and spells and is the official new chapter in the legendary series.
