After the success of the game, Larion Studios tripled the size of the team to 150 developers and completed the sequel, Divine Realm: Original Sin 2.
Recently, Swen Vincke, founder of Larian Studio, said in an interview with foreign media PCGamer that the studio development team has expanded again, with more than 400 people participating in the production of "Baldur's Gate 3", which is 10 times larger than when developing "Divine Realm: Original Sin". Larian also has seven sub-studios around the world.
Swen Vincke said: "I never imagined that there would be more than 400 people involved in the production of Baldur's Gate 3, no one expected it to be like this, but it was really something we needed to do. We began to understand what needed to be done to build the game, and there were two options: downsize or scale up, and we chose to scale ourselves up. ”
"There are a lot of steps to developing a game now, and many people need to look at the content, such as designers, animators, visual effects, SFX, etc., and be clear about their budget costs. So instead of adding a work line, we had to change the way we worked. ”
"We're proud of Bird's Gate 3 and we want to reach our ambitions because we've played Both 'Bird's Gate' Generation 1 and Generation 2 when we were younger, and I think it's worth doing that. Because of the success of the previous games, we had a way of doing that, and I don't want it to be a game that has to be scaled down. ”
La Ryan Studios is working on the official version of Baldur's Gate 3, filling up spell banks and creating other classes, followed by time-consuming polishing. The official version of Baldur's Gate 3 will be released in 2023.
