Following Larian’s shock decision to move on from Baldur’s Gate 3 and Dungeons & Dragons, some fans have pointed the finger at Wizards of the Coast — but, according to Swen Vincke, the Hasbro-owned company is not to blame.

“Reading the reddit threads, I would like to clear up something,” Vincke said. “WOTC is not to blame for us taking a different direction. On the contrary, they really did their best and have been a great licensor for us, letting us do our thing. This is because it’s what’s best for Larian.”

    Prior to development on Baldur’s Gate 3, Larian CEO Swen Vincke was already planning out the company’s future, and this included what he calls “the very big RPG that will dwarf them all.”

    Speaking to GameSpot at GDC, Vincke explained that Larian’s next game also won’t actually be the aforementioned “very big RPG,” but will be another step toward realizing it.
