The ongoing debate about the vitality of big single-player games has resurfaced, and this time, Swen Vincke, CEO of Larian Studios and mastermind behind the critically acclaimed Baldur's Gate 3, has offered his perspective. In a post on X/Twitter, Vincke addressed the annual claim that single-player games are "dead," asserting, "Use your imagination. They're not. They just have to be good."
Vincke's stance is backed by a solid track record. Larian Studios has consistently delivered exceptional CRPGs, from Divinity: Original Sin to Divinity: Original Sin 2, culminating in the massive success of Baldur's Gate 3. His insights, whether shared at The Game Awards or through other platforms, consistently highlight the importance of passion in game development, respect for both developers and players, and a genuine commitment to the craft.
The year 2025 has already showcased the strength of single-player titles with Warhorse Studios' Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 making waves. With many months left in the year, there's ample opportunity for other single-player games to capture the gaming community's attention.
Despite the success of Baldur's Gate 3, Larian Studios has chosen to move on from the Dungeons & Dragons universe to focus on a new IP. Meanwhile, at the Game Developers Conference this year, Dan Ayoub, SVP of digital games at Hasbro, hinted that updates on the future of the Baldur's Gate series might be forthcoming, keeping fans eagerly anticipating what's next.
