Update:

According to information received by our site from a reliable source, the devs of Baldur's Gate 3 are planning to establish a Polish branch. We're not sure about the exact location, but Warsaw is an obvious candidate. The reports were also confirmed by a second, independent source.

Even though our informers are sure of this information, keep in mind that this is not an official statement and plans can change. Larian Studio hasn't yet replied to our request for commenting on these reports, and the job offers on the developer's official website don't mention anything about the new studio.

However, it's worth noting that this wouldn't be the second or even third branch of Larian Studios. While some still consider it an independent team, the developer now has six studios, with four of them located in Barcelona, Dublin, Ghent, and Guildford.

The Polish contribution to the production of the company's latest hit should also be mentioned. Poles from Anshar Studios (Gamedec, Zoria: Age of Shattering), located in Katowice, helped with Baldur's Gate III. Previously, they collaborated with the Fool's Theory team (The Thaumaturge) to develop several complimentary expansions for Divinity: Original Sin 2, which were distributed as Gift Bags.

So, Polish developers are no strangers to Larian. While we are convinced of the truthfulness of our two independent sources, these plans will only be confirmed after an official announcement from the studio.

Well with the incoming 6th patch we can agreed that BG3 is indeed a very polish game.

Poland gaming industry has been on fire the last few years.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Gotta start pumping out more D&D games. Neverwinter Nights 3 is a no brainer.

 

[nowhat]

As much as I liked BG3 (and I truly do, it was my GOTY last year by a large margin), one can't help but to feel the initial release was lacking in... *drum roll* ...some Polish.

 

[Gaiff]

They need to hire my man rofif and let him convince them to let Square give them the reins to the Forspoken sequel.

If he convince them to do that then he will try and convince them to only ever offer quality modes on PS5.

True but they still cant make a good fps

 

[rofif]

FTFY.

Motherfucker you will burn in hell

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Just goes to show that not everyone is laying off in this market.

Those with vision and who have had financial sense in the past see this as a buyer's market now.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Awesome! Literally now one of the top 5 developers in the world now, I'd say safely.

 

[XXL]

Everything is going according to plan.

Fuck. I’d cum.

 

[Mokus]

What kind of fps? Painkiller was good.

 

[Waltz8bit]

Agreed. I hope Gearbox does not hold all game dev rights for Neverwinter games.

 

[nowhat]

Fuck. I’d cum.

I'm not going to comment on your orgasms, but... as someone who played the fuck out of NWN and the DLCs, is NWN 2 worth it? At the time it was way beyond my PC specs (and it was notoriously buggy at launch), but I'm pretty sure this current laptop could run it ok, Intel IGP and all.

 

[Hudo]

Bring a pair of pants to change into. It’s great!

Painkiller was good but every fps thqts came put of poland is sub par if not janky, not even cyberpunk was a good fps, though dying light wasnt to bad but games like dead island and sniper ghost warrior are pretty bad, wouldnt really rate bulletstlorm or call of juarez highly either, not saying polish devs are shit, some of the talent is unbelievable but they do struggle with fps games

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

It's official. They've opened a new Larian studio in Warsaw.

 

[Gaelyon]

So two new RPGs, none of which are BG4. Maybe a new DDOS and ?

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Two new RPGs? Oh man. I hope one is DOS 3, but I would love to see their vision for a sci fi game.

 

[ThisIsMyDog]

They realy put Winged Hussar in logo LMAO

 

[struggler_guts]

 

[bitbydeath]

Keep split-screen and i’m there.

 

[DAHGAMING]

Microsofts dream is to buy Larian and shut this new studio down.

 

[Dazraell]

So two new RPGs, none of which are BG4. Maybe a new DDOS and ?

I believe they already confirmed their next games won't be Baldur's Gate, Divinity or even anything D&D related, which implies they might be new IP(s)

 

[SportsFan581]

Any word on what they've decided to work on next other than the fact that it isn't D&D or Divinity based?

 

[XXL]

Honestly, I really don't really care what the IPs are for the 2 games they're making.

I'm 99.9% buying both of them day 1.

Pending some unforeseen disaster, they pretty much have me as a customer (for life) for whatever they make.

The government supported game development since the inception of CDPR and/or GOG.
