Larian Studios, the incredible developers team that brought us Divinity: Original Sin and Baldur’s Gate 3, the best game of 2023, gives us a little tease about their next big game, in an adorable video, featured in their advent calendar.
‘Tis the season to be jolly, and slowly but surely, everything is getting festive and Christmas-themed. As for Larian Studios, they released a cute festive advent calendar on December 13. There you solve puzzles for each day and get a sweet reward. The rewards are, for now, usually some images or short stories. However, the first one is an adorable video, where Larian gives a little tease concerning their next game.
A Very Larian Christmas
On December 13, Larian Studio shared a post on X about their advent calendar, with some pretty sweet rhymes
If you follow the link to the advent calendar, you’ll have the option to solve a puzzle for each day, starting from December 13, up to the present day. But, what we’re here for is the first day, December 13. When you click on it, and solve the pretty cool puzzle with Shadow-Cursed Lands (Act 2 of Baldur’s Gate 3), the “Get Your Reward” button will appear, and that will take you to an adorable video by the Larian Team.
Christmas Wishes Video Hold a Tiny Tease About The Upcoming Game
It starts off with Aoife Wilson, Larian’s Senior Communications Developer, and Larian studios across the globe (from Kuala-Lumpur, Dublin, Warsaw, Barcelona, Ghent, Guildford, and Quebec), sending us all the best wishes for this holiday season. Pretty sweet!
However, when that is over, Ms. Wilson adds: “Before I forget, I got you one more thing” and pulls out a present with “Larian’s Next Game” written on the nametag. Then’s when Swen Vincke, Larian Studios Director, barges in and grabs the present, saying that the new game needs “a lot more time in the oven”, but when it is finished it will be “so BIG! For the time being, you’re gonna have to wait”. And with that, they bring the video to an end.
From what we know, Larian decided they will not be continuing the story of Baldur’s Gate 3, not with a sequel nor with an expansion. BG3 was really something, but they plan to move away from DnD and do something entirely different as their next project. They had great success with fantasy RPGs so far, so we’re curious to see what their next project will be.
