Baldur's Gate 3 boss has apparently “figured out” out first act of studio's next game

With Baldur's Gate 3 scooping up accolades all over the place last year, anticipation for developer Larian's next game is already sky high; but while the studio has made it clear any kind of official reveal is still some way off, progress is clearly being made behind the scenes: studio boss Swen Vincke has apparently now finished outlining the first act of the mystery project's story.

While Larian is remaining tightlipped about its next big game when it comes to specifics, Vincke previously told fans he “very excited about it,” and that Baldur's Gate 3's critical and commercial success was “really encouraging us to ensure it pushes many boundaries.”

And now, in a series of tweets on social media, Vincke has shared a bit of a progress updatesaying, “Been a great morning! After four months of rewriting and rewriting and abandoning ideas and then revisiting them, I finally figured out what one act on this thing I've been working on needs to be. Quote me when it's revealed to see how much of today's draft survives. I suspect a lot.”

“That said,” Vincke added, “I haven't shared it with anyone yet so it may be they all think it's bad and then I'll just kill this thread, go sit in a corner with my dog ​​and pretend none of this happened. And press CTRL+ENTER and start all over again 🙂 But I think I really like this one.”

“It's not what you think,” Vincke continued, “and this is not a teaser for an announcement. Just am genuinely excited about where this is going and wanted to share some of my excitement. It'll be quite some time before we talk about this.”

Luckily for impatient studio fans, the mighty Baldur's Gate 3 should keep them going for quite some playthroughs given the riches squirrelled away within. And it is, of course, well worth spending time with, despite a few lingering issues with the recently launched Xbox version – Baldur's Gate 3 came second in Eurogamer's list of 2023 video game favorites, while our readers declared it the best game of the year .
