Larian’s Swen Vincke: Fallout and Ultima Were Contenders if Baldur’s Gate Failed

Larian CEO Swen Vincke revealed that if Baldur’s Gate wasn’t an option, he was interested in working on either Fallout or Ultima. Vincke believed that a big-name title was necessary to break through a “glass ceiling” and elevate Larian to the next level. Baldur’s Gate 3’s success turned Larian into an RPG powerhouse. Despite initial struggles, Larian secured the Baldur’s Gate license and delivered a massive hit. The studio is now focusing on two ambitious RPGs, moving away from D&D-based projects.
