Larian Studios

Larian Studios is a Belgian studio that specializes in the RPG genre. Dating back to the late 1990s, the studio found success only a few years after its inception, thanks to its focus on storytelling and turn-based combat with room for player freedom.

Popular franchises from Larian Studios include the Divinity series, which received several awards for its rich lore and engaging gameplay. However, the studio’s past successes pale in comparison to its latest hit, Baldur’s Gate 3.

This release has catapulted Larian Studios to new heights, establishing the team as an icon of the RPG industry. The game has received unprecedented reviews in 2023, making it the strongest and most unexpected contender for the Game of The Year award.
