Larian Studios is the team behind the esteemed Divinity Original Sin series, which comprises two critically acclaimed turn-based RPGs based on the Dungeons & Dragons ruleset and plush with rich storytelling. They might not be the original developers of the Baldur’s Gate games, you’d be hard-pressed to think of a better alternative to BioWare.
The team has put its Divinity: Fallen Heroes project on ice as it concentrates on pushing forward with development on Baldur’s Gate 3. Fallen Heroes was set to focus more on the series’ brilliant combat than the exploration that is such a big part of the mainline games.
Recently we learned that Baldur’s Gate 3 will be based on the 5th Dungeons & Dragons ruleset.
