After stuffing everything, the kitchen sink, and bear nookie into Baldur's Gate 3, developers at Larian Studios are now struggling to make an RPG that feels totally new.
To help mark a full year since Baldur's Gate 3's release, Larian has revealed a new "Channel From Hell" on YouTube. Though the studio has not yet uploaded anything, it wrote on X, «The Everything App» that the «community-focused» channel is set to «feature regular and never-seen-before videos which will arrive this summer.»
After Larian metaphorically, and quite possibly literally, wiped up the champagne and vacuumed the confetti after celebrating Baldur's Gate 3's long-awaited full release, studio boss Swen Vincke joined writing director Adam Smith around a monitor to watch the RPG's Steam numbers rocket into the stratosphere. Vincke's response to the game's surprising success was simple: "We get to do it again."
If there was somehow any doubt remaining about the future of Baldur's Gate 3, the RPG's lead writer has done his best to finally put those doubts to rest, saying that he's entirely moved on from the game - but that players should continue its legacy any way they like.
Larian Studios reveals that Baldur's Gate 3 shipped in a hilariously horny state as developers were unable to properly "seduce" companions while testing the RPG's romance system.
Baldur's Gate 3 had a longearly access period—opening its doors in October 2020 before finally dropping in August 2023, almost three years (1,031 days, to be exact) later. It was a vastly different game to what it is now. For instance, I remember my inner D&D rules lawyer being very upset that firebolt made a damaging surface—that misstep, as well as a few others, were corrected for the better, producing what I'll happily call one of the strongest RPGs we'll see this decade.
It's hard to imagine now, but when Baldur's Gate 3's six beloved companion characters were first imagined, they were just a handful of one-line pitches among «hundreds and hundreds» of other possible character concepts. Their origins were revealed last week during BAFTA's «An Evening with Baldur's Gate 3,» which included an interview with Larian CEO and co-founder Swen Vincke, writing director Adam Smith, and lead writer Chrystal Ding.
