The Baldur’s Gate 3 universe continues to win over many fans thanks to the hard work of Larian Studios. The latter even goes so far as to make an unexpected announcement!
The year 2023 has been full of surprises. Who would have thought that Larian Studios would have succeeded in elevating Baldur’s Gate 3 to the rank of game of the year, when the license had been left aside by Bioware since the 2000s. It’s crazy, but they succeeded, and the public quickly followed this craze. On the day of its release on PC, 875,343 simultaneous players were registered on SteamDB. Much more came later with the PS5 and Xbox Series. If we could have thought that the developers would have given themselves a few months of vacation between two updates, it is quite the opposite. The CEO of Larian is already teasing a big surprise.
A surprise collaboration for Baldur’s Gate 3?
The question asked by Swen Vincke, CEO of Larian Studios, is very simple. Should Baldur’s Gate 3 collaborate with Vampire Survivors: Yes or Fuck Yes? Unsurprisingly, it’s the yes that wins and formalizes the first major crossover of Goty 2023. If these collaborations are quite common in the industry, we didn’t necessarily imagine the Larian studio taking the plunge. Still, fans are thrilled, as this surprise poll suggests that work has already secretly begun between the two titles. It will still be necessary to wait several months before seeing the outcome.
If Vampires Survivors made a phenomenal breakthrough upon its release, it has less budget than Baldur’s Gate 3, which does not necessarily portend a historic crossover. However, quality has become a trademark of the Poncle studio, which we will surely find in this new complicity. Remember, the title managed to rank among the best indie games of 2022, thanks to its 181,000 extremely positive user reviews. The software mixing survival, roguelite and horror had already achieved an astonishing collaboration with Among Us. It changed the appearance of characters and cards. We can therefore expect that their duo with the Larian studio will give a similar result.
