Larian Studios has crafted one of the best RPGs of all time with Baldur’s Gate 3, but fans are already hungry for what’s next. With the studio officially moving development to its next game, we now have an idea when the new title will release. 

When will Larian’s next game release? 

While Larian is still working on some future updates for Baldur’s Gate 3, the studio is going full steam ahead on its next game. Likely a new Divinity game, but possibly something completely new, the new RPG is expected to be another brilliant game from the award-winning studio. 

Speaking at the SEA Game Awards, CEO Swen Vincke revealed the studio’s plans to release its next game in 2028 or 2029. The CEO didn’t say whether or not the game is aiming to release in early access like its earlier titles, and he doesn’t want fans to be attached to that release date. 

Speaking to IGN, Vincke asked for fans to not hold Larian to that release period. Instead of aiming for a release date, the studio will release its new game when it’s ready to be played. 

“I don’t know, we’ll release it when it’s ready. They’re big games and it takes time, so don’t hold us to a date,” the CEO said. 

Loads more Baldur’s Gate 3 to play

Despite many pining for a new Larian game to play, Baldur’s Gate 3 has so much content players still haven’t experienced. With fans discovering new mechanics all the time and others creating hilarious mods such as functional Pokeballs, Larian’s RPG has literally thousands of hours of gameplay to play through. 

As fans crack the game’s official mod tools to create custom maps and cutscenes, BG3 modding is also about to get really huge. While we won’t see mods on the level of Fallout London anytime soon, massive expansion-sized mods are now possible.
