Sven Vincke, the head of Larian Studios, believes that reports of the death of single-player games are greatly exaggerated. He commented on social media about the common opinion that single-player titles are losing out to service-based games.
Vincke is confident that the “funeral” for story-driven games is premature. He wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that such titles simply “need to be made well” for them to attract a wide audience and be profitable. In the comments, some users noted that this is sometimes not enough, and even high-quality titles fail because the success of a game does not depend solely on the efforts of developers.
Previously, Larian announced that they are working on two new games simultaneously. Studio representatives emphasized that they are not related to the Dungeons & Dragons universe, but did not disclose the setting chosen for the projects. The company’s latest release is Baldur’s Gate 3, which was released in 2023.
