Divinity: Original Sin developer Larian Studios is behind Baldur’s Gate 3

<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="http://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/divinity-original-sin-developer-larian-studios-is-behind-baldurs-gate-3.jpg" width="200" height="200" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>Larian Studios, the developer behind the <em>Divinity: Original Sin</em> games, is working on the next game in Wizards of the Coast’s <em>Baldur’s Gate</em> series.</p>
<p>The studio had lightly implied as much on Twitter in the days leading up to today’s <a href="https://youtu.be/k-BbW6zAjL0">Google Stadia stream</a>, and both <em>Baldur’s Gate 3</em> and its development team were among the reveals during today’s Stadia event.</p>
<p>During the stream, Larian CEO Swen Vincke shared that he had previously tried to pitch Wizards of the Coast on putting them at the helm of a new <em>Baldur’s Gate</em> game years ago, but the company originally turned them down.</p>
<p>“When we were released <em>Divinity: Original Sin 1</em>, I tried approaching Wizards of the Coast, trying to tell them that we should be the ones making <em>Baldur’s Gate 3</em>,” said Vinke. “They didn’t necessarily believe me back then. But then we started making <em>Divinity: Original Sin 2</em> and then at some point they just reached out to me and said ‘well you’re the guy that wanted to make <em>Baldur’s Gate 3</em>. Do you still want to make <em>Baldur’s Gate 3?</em>’”</p>
<p>“And that got the conversation rolling. And before you knew it, we were constructing story,” said Vincke.</p>
<p>The game is set to launch for both Google Stadia and PC, and comes nearly 20 years after BioWare released its predecessor <em>Baldur’s Gate 2</em>.</p>
