Larian founder Swen Vincke wants more studios to make CRPGs after Baldur's Gate 3's success
For many reasons, Baldur's Gate 3 is one of the most talked about games of 2023. Along with its fantastic role-playing mechanics and its award-winning story, it also brought greater interest to the CRPG sub-genre - and now many are looking ahead to what this means for CRPGs going forward. Following the win for Ultimate Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards 2023, Larian Studios founder and CEO Swen Vincke spoke with GamesRadar+ to talk about the game and his hopes for the CRPG sub-genre following the BG3's success. "We've always been very focused on just making our game, and a lot of people have attached a lot of things to that because the game turned out the way that we wanted it to be," said Vincke in response to industry attention for their game and CRPGs.
