Larian Studios prefers to focus first on the PC and Stadia versions, but does not close the doors to the premiere of the title on other platforms.
Divinity: Original Sin 2 came out first in Early Access for PC. Once the final version was released, the studio decided to transfer it to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Later, even Nintendo Switch enjoyed its own adaptation. Baldur’s Gate 3, its new production, follows the same path and will be released as a game in early access. Once it is released in compatible, will it be released on consoles? Many wonder. Larian Studios does not rule it out.
In an interview with Gamespot. Swen Vincke, founder of the studio, has addressed the issue and commented on the following: “Our focus is currently on PC and Stadia. We’re going to put a lot of effort into making it work on these two [plataformas]. Then we will see what happens. ” The also director of Divinity: Original Sin 2 has admitted, yes, that they have not carried out any tests with the current consoles. At the time he went on to say that he was not clear that the title could work on machines of this generation.
In August, in early access
Baldur’s Gate 3 doesn’t have a release date, but it does have a prospect of coming out in early access. According to Larian Studios, the idea is to have a version ready for August, although they do not rule out a possible delay. The coronavirus situation has caused development to slow down. In an interview with The New York Times, Swen Vincke himself said that when the pandemic started, everything had worked well, but as the weeks passed, they discovered that they had some other communication problem. This caused, according to the developer, that some processes slowed down, causing production to slow down.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a continuation of the BioWare video games, but Larian Studios will tell a new story. This does not mean that they do not connect the events with the stories of the past. In terms of gameplay, the team has opted for turn-based fighting, a novelty in the series.
