Our take
Gaming is a vastly popular industry across the globe, and the most intense fans often turn to role-playing games. These games are known for their difficulty and dedication required for gameplay. Larian Studios was created out of a passion for gaming and to meet this ever present demand.
The company was built by and for knowledgable gamers, meaning that it is able to fully anticipate consumer needs and requirements. Larian Studios differs from other companies in the space as it now consistently prioritises game quality over production speed in order to mitigate pain points further down the line, resulting in higher customer satisfaction.
The company has met financial difficulties in the past whilst developing games, notably when managing funding against development requirements. However, since then, Larian Studios has managed to stabilise itself through high game sales and significant employee growth, putting the company in a better place to meet its future ambitions, including developing more sequels to its existing games. Baldur's Gate III was released in 2023 and was the company's most ambitious project to date, spanning a playthrough time of an estimated 200-plus hours. The game was released to universal acclaim and made the company a 249 million euro pre-tax profit in 2024.
