One cannot help but muse about the potential oeuvre a Larian Studios Fallout game might have fashioned, immediately transportable to a realm of nuance and complexity previously uncharted. But, that’s precisely the venture you’ll find me partaking in as the weekend rolls in.

Larian Studios, the masters of the gaming landscape, hit a home run with their masterpiece – Baldur’s Gate 3, released in 2023. If this momentous event managed to slip your attention, one might conjecture whether a cavernous rock is your current address. Regardless of one’s feelings towards the Dungeons and Dragons and its turn-based combat strategy, the game’s omnipresence, online and offline, is undeniable. The game not only had an impressive awards season, but its characters have also been gracing our virtual spaces repeatedly. And dare I ask – have you truly experienced life if you haven’t queried about Shadowheart’s perception of you?

Larian Studios designed an intricate weave of settings, narratives, and characters, all set in richly immersive locations in Baldur’s Gate 3. The characters are so endeared by fans that they are rapidly climbing the charts of the most beloved video game characters. The masterful collaboration between Larian Studios and Dungeons & Dragons was magnificent, thus it came as a surprise when Larian opted to diversify from the game. As we gleaned from the interview by Edge 400, Swen Vincke, Larian Studio’s chief, revealed other RPGs were on his radar, including Ultima and Fallout.

Their success with Baldur’s Gate 3 license and the consequential contribution to the industry will be celebrated for a long time. Confirmation that Larian has two new developments on the horizon, makes it stimulating to consider the types of projects they have an affinity for. Irrespective of Bethesda’s current work on Fallout 5 and continuous updates to Fallout 76, it’s intriguing to postulate about Larian’s past interests and future trajectories.

In my humble opinion, a detour into the realm of science fiction by Larian would satiate fans’ enthusiasm, but until that hypothetical scenario materializes, we can ruminate about a Larian-designed Fallout. Now, wouldn’t that be a sight for sore digital eyes.
