Baldur's Gate 3 Director Teases Studio's 'Next Crazy Thing'

EAST FLANDERS, FLANDERS, AUG 4 – Larian Studios celebrates Baldur's Gate 3's massive success with over 265 million mod downloads and teases a new ambitious RPG project codenamed Excalibur, not a sequel.

  • On August 3, 2025, Larian Studios director Swen Vincke celebrated Baldur's Gate 3's second anniversary and teased the studio's next major project.
  • Vincke confirmed in March 2024 that Larian was not developing a sequel or expansion for Baldur's Gate 3, choosing instead to pursue entirely new original IP.
  • Larian announced it is working on two new games unrelated to Dungeons & Dragons, calling their upcoming work the 'next crazy thing' made possible by BG3's success.
  • Vincke stated in 2024 that the new projects include plans for narrative, visual, and gameplay innovation, but they will need time to make it all work and are not guaranteed to succeed.
  • The studio's shift away from BG3 suggests Larian aims to build on their award-winning RPG's commercial success with fresh creative directions, while fans await further announcements.
