Baldur’s Gate 3 is still rocking the charts, earning praise from gamers of all stripes months after its launch. Swen Vincke, the genius behind Larian Studios, spilled the tea in a recent chat, and it looks like he’s dreaming big about bringing back the good ol’ days of computer role-playing games (CRPGs) a la Baldur’s Gate 3.
The game snagging the Ultimate Game of the Year title at the Golden Joystick Awards 2023 has Vincke all hyped, and he’s not just soaking in the glory. Nope, he’s sharing his thoughts on what’s making Baldur’s Gate 3 a hit and giving us a sneak peek into what might be next for the CRPG scene.
Now, if you’re scratching your heads at CRPG talk, don’t worry. We’re talking about a special flavor of role-playing game here. Picture this: isometric top-down views, serving up that open-ended, story-packed vibe that takes you back to the good old days of Dungeons & Dragons.
Vincke’s musings line up with what we’ve been hoping for in the gaming world. The playful storytelling and the vast playground for player creativity that these games offer have struck a chord. Thanks to Baldur’s Gate 3 paving the way, we might just be on the cusp of a CRPG comeback.
