Rumours begun swirling earlier today that developer of the absolutely brilliant Divinity: Original Sin series, Larian Studios, is working on Baldur’s Gate 3.

The rumour comes from an RPGCodex forum user who claims that a new colleague of theirs is a former Larian Studios employee – “He says Swen acquired the Baldur’s Gate license. No further information on when they’re going to use it and for what, but they have it.”

To add fuel to the fire Brian Fargo, from InXile Entertainment, has stated on Twitter that he also knows who’s working on Baldur’s Gate 3.

Larian Studios developing Baldur’s Gate 3 might just be the perfect match made in RPG heaven. If you haven’t already played the truly superb Divinity: Original Sin 2, go do it…right now! Original Sin 2 is arguably one of the greatest RPGs in years – Larian clearly know what they’re doing when it comes to old-school isometric RPGs.

For now though, this remains a rumour.

Update 14:50:

WCCFTech are reporting that Larian have denied the rumours that they’re developing Baldur’s Gate 3, adding that they haven’t bought any IP and are continuing to work on Divinity.

The firm have stated that their next project will be announced only when the time is right.

For now we’ll just have to wait and see…
