Speculation on Larians next game

[Kodyd194]

What does everyone think they are gonna do next? Swen Vincke seems really excited for it.
What features would you want to see going forward?

I have been a fan of Larian since the older Divinity games, but ever since Original Sin they have been one of my top RPG studios.

[Heu, Iterum Id Feci]

iirc they are working on 2 games.
Most likely they will stick to TB, as they've stated during BG3 development they are considering TB games their strength nowadays, and prefer it rather than having to relearn their staff for other genres.
One of the 2 will probably be something in the original sin universe. It would be the smart thing to do after first having a massive success with DOS2 and then expanding their reknown massively with BG3...Now is the time to further their own IP.
The second, knowing Larian will most likely be a new IP they are gonna try to build up, probably also TB, but maybe something Sci-Fi to diversify? Just guessing here...
They seemed to have no further interest in working with licensed IPs any further, so I can't see them doing something like that.

ive most of this as well from other sources, i would love to see a sci-fi IP from them. I am still a little bummed we didnt get the Divinity tactics game they were making that got canceled.

it is a pipe dream, but i would love for them to do a battlertech game, a Mech game with in a Larian style would be awesome.

Larian made Battletech and as far removed from Paradox as possible would be a huge win but what could possibly top RogueTech 2.2.1 ?

[Woke Buster]

They are free from Wizards of the Woke pressuring them to add woke nonsence, so it will be really interesting to see what Larian are going to do now. My bet: their next game won't have pronouns.

[Thomas D.]

I hope one of the two projects is something like Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (non turn based, because only turn based gets old at some point).

Also I hope it's not woke...

[★REM★]

Hopefully, DOS 3

[Ｍａｔｅｚ]

Divine Divinity remake I hope
I wouldnt mind scifi rpg or post apo rpg oooor something like Tyranny where everyone is evil ( :

[Hey I'm Back!]

I guess the next game will be Baldur's Gate 4.

[iamyourdad]

Whatever it'll be, It'll be much worse than BG3.

As much as many people would like that, Larian has already stated they'd prefer the freedon of their own IP's for their next games. (and Swen Vincke denied publicly it has anything to do with wotc, like some people like to pretend...)

[Nicatlon]

I hope at least one of the two new projects is turn-based. They probably won't forget their strong suit of hand crafted, puzzle like combat and loads of different skills to use. They might however dip their toes into something new with the second project?

I wouldn't bet on that. You do know where their HQ is located?

But such does not bother me as long as they provide options to avoid it a lot. As they do in BG3. Those who want to engage in it, are free to do so. Options are a good thing, as long as there are good ones.

You mean player choice of pronouns, right?

I'll take that bet. 1K Steam points OK, or should we go higher?

I want Larian to take on something Sci-Fi, like Deathwatch.

All of the scifi cRPGs out there use weird rules and have balance problems and suffer from poorly attempted realism, etc etc. I would love to see a simplistic Cyberpunk or 40K style cRPG from them.
