After Larian Studios announced it was parting ways with DnD IP, speculation abounded as to what the developer would do next. Now, while details remain scarce, Larian has announced that it is beginning work on "two very ambitious RPGs" and has opened a new studio to help out.

Larian confirmed the news today in a post on X (formerly Twitter). "With two highly ambitious RPGs entering development," the developer wrote, "what better way to see our visions realized than by growing the team and opening a seventh studio in the heart of Poland's vibrant gaming scene." The seventh studio in question will be located in Warsaw, the same city where CD Projekt's primary studio is based. CD Projekt Red also congratulated Larian on opening a new studio in its hometown. "Welcome to Warsaw, neighbors," CDPR wrote on X.

Last month, Larian CEO Swen Vincke claimed that the studio's upcoming game would be its "best work ever." He stated that Larian Studios would be parting ways with Wizards of the Coast and its Dungeon and Dragons IP to pursue its own, unique project shortly after the announcement. The studio has previously released several games in the Divinity franchise, which some have speculated could be the potential setting for Larian's next video games, though we know relatively little about what exactly the developer is working on.

But whatever it is, it's apparently ambitious and big enough to warrant opening a new studio. Baldur's Gate 3 was seen by many as a new standard that all RPGs should strive for, and it's fair to think that their follow-up projects would follow suit. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for Larian to stop the drip feeding and give us a big slice of the pie that is their next RPG.
