Baldur's Gate 3 sold more than 20 million copies. Larian's Baldur's Gate 3 launched first into early access on Steam, and now the studio has teased that its next game, Divinity, could follow a similar playbook. Larian boss Swen Vincke told GamesRadar, "We still want to do early access." He isn't 100% committing to it as of yet, but said this approach worked for its past games. Want us to remember this setting for all your devices? Now Playing: Divinity Will Be Better Than Baldur’s Gate 3 “On All Fronts” Says Larian CEO "It's been the blueprint, especially the community participation with early access, which is what interests us. It was [with] Divinity: Original Sin 1, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Baldur's Gate 3--they [the community members] were a large part of how we developed the games," he said. Vincke said these games "improved massively" due in part to them releasing in early access. "Players being invested in it increases the pressure and their participation in it, so you get something really cool out of that process--even if it's painful for the developer," he said. So, we have to swallow our pride and say, 'Ok, you guys are right, we're wrong, we accept it, you've made your point.'" Putting a game into early access "causes extra development effort, but it leads to a better game," Vincke said, adding that this is the whole point. Baldur's Gate 3 has been Larian's biggest success to date, selling more than 20 million copies, according to Bloomberg. That game's first act launched into early access in August 2020, and Larian added more content over the ensuing months and years leading up to the public release for everyone in August 2023. As for the new Divinity game, it was announced at The Game Awards with a super-gross trailer. The game will be better than Baldur's Gate 3 "on all fronts," according to Vincke. The developer is using generative AI for Divinity to help developers have more time and freedom to work on creative concepts instead of boring work that "nobody wants to do." At least one former Larian developer spoke out against Larian's use of generative AI, saying the studio should show their employees "some respect."
