Larian Studios’ recent reveal of its next project set in the Divinity universe has had an immediate side effect: renewed attention on Baldur’s Gate 3. In the days following the announcement in mid-January 2026, the studio’s previous hit has seen a noticeable resurgence in player interest, reinforcing just how strong Larian’s brand has become among RPG fans.
A Familiar Pattern For Larian Releases
This is not the first time a new announcement from Larian has driven players back to its existing games. Whenever the studio shares details about a future project, interest in its catalogue tends to spike, as new and returning players revisit earlier worlds to get a sense of the studio’s design philosophy and storytelling approach.
With the Divinity name carrying significant weight after the success of Divinity: Original Sin and its sequel, the latest reveal has reminded many players where Larian’s modern reputation was built.
Baldur’s Gate 3 Continues To Benefit
Baldur’s Gate 3 remains one of the most visible examples of Larian’s long-term appeal. Even months after its major post-launch updates, the game continues to attract players, and the recent Divinity-related news appears to have pushed even more attention its way. Community discussions, renewed playthroughs, and increased curiosity from players who may have missed the game at launch have all followed the announcement.
Rather than fading into the background, the game continues to act as a reference point for what players expect from large-scale, choice-driven RPGs.
Momentum Heading Into What’s Next
For Larian, the situation highlights a rare advantage: new announcements do not replace interest in older titles but instead reinforce it. As anticipation builds around the next Divinity project, Baldur’s Gate 3 remains firmly in the spotlight, benefiting from the studio’s growing profile and the trust it has earned with its audience.
As 2026 gets underway, this crossover momentum suggests that whatever Larian shares next is likely to echo well beyond a single release.
