Evidently, Larian Studios, the team behind Baldur's Gate 3is made up of huge Metroidvania fans, considering it emerged as one of the major backers on Kickstarter of one of the best-known indie titles of this genre, that is Blasphemous.
The issue remained rather under the radar, but it represented an important support for the indie team The Game Kitchen at the time of the development of the first Blasphemous, given that Larian Studios provided a important figure to carry out the work, although the amount of money was not precisely reported.
“Not many people know this, but Larian Studios was one of the biggest backers during Blasphemous' Kickstarter campaign,” level designer Enrique Colinet revealed in a recent X post.
A fascinating metroidvania
Apparently, the Baldur's Gate 3 team has “provided a four-digit sumwithout ever even asking to be officially recognized, and simply continued on his way to make one of the best games ever made in recent years”, reported Colinet.
The donation was made collectively by the studio, so it is not clear how the expense was divided, but it still appears as support provided directly by Larian Studios apparently, which therefore appears to have been one of the main financiers of Blasphemous.
In fact, the metroidvania in question is one of the most fascinating released recently, and its success also led to the creation of Blasphemous 2, consolidating the title into a real series.
