Larian teases new Divinity project news

A new comic venture rooted in the epic world of Baldur’s Gate 3 is on the horizon, bringing fresh visual excitement to fans. But behind the reveal, Larian Studios took a moment to clear the air regarding their involvement in related projects.

Following the announcement from Dark Horse Comics about the upcoming book, there were inevitable whispers of Larian’s potential deep dive into the Forgotten Worlds IP. To quell the speculation, the studio issued a clear message:

“Maximum hijinks are happening right now, but we’re not involved in any BG3 related projects,” stated Larian on social media, suggesting that their creative energy was focused elsewhere.

This statement, accompanied by a playful image of founder Swen Vincke seemingly fitted into medieval armor, added a touch of lightheartedness to the announcement. It seemed Larian preferred focusing on pure fun rather than corporate IP entanglement at this specific moment.

“As soon as we bust outta here, we’ll share more about Divinity,” the studio added, hinting at a shift in focus. This move signals a renewed energy toward their other acclaimed franchise.

The spotlight is now squarely on the Divinity series. After the massive success of Divinity Original Sin 2, which will mark a decade of gaming history next year, Larian is poised to resurrect the series with a fresh entry, leveraging their recent recognition and resources.

This strategic pivot allows the team to explore new creative avenues while maintaining momentum in an area they are passionately committed to. While discussions continue about future titles like Baldur’s Gate 4, the reality of IP ownership remains a complex landscape for the industry.
