Our take
Gaming is a vastly popular industry across the globe, and few genres command as much loyalty as role-playing games. And Belgian developer Larian Studios has firmly positioned itself at the forefront of that space. Built by and for passionate RPG players, the studio has developed a reputation for prioritising depth, player agency and long-term quality over rapid production cycles.
That philosophy reached its commercial and critical peak with Baldur's Gate III in 2023, a landmark release for the company that delivered hundreds of hours of narrative gameplay and generated $249M in pre-tax profit in 2024, cementing Larian's place among the industry's elite.
Since then, the studio confirmed its not developing Baldur's Gate 4 and has instead shifted resources toward the next evolution of its flagship fantasy series, Divinity. Post-launch support for Baldur's Gate III has continued and additional patches and quality-of-life improvements have been added, helping sustain a thriving modding community and long-term player engagement.
So, now the company has turned its focus to Divinity, announcing at The Game Awards 2025 that there will be a new entry to the franchise. Early commentary suggests the project will retain the studio's hallmark turn-based systems while pushing technical and narrative boundaries further.
