Console gamers, gather 'round for the epic saga you didn't see coming! Just last month, Larian Studios surprised Divinity: Original Sin 2 fans with a supercharged version for PS5, Xbox Series, and yes, the coveted Nintendo Switch 2! But hold your potions—there's a catch for Baldur's Gate 3 enthusiasts. Despite the immense buzz, this legendary RPG isn't morphing onto Nintendo's battleground.
During a pulse-pounding Reddit AMA, Larian's very own Game Master, CEO Swen Vincke, unleashed the truth: sadly, Baldur's Gate 3 on Switch 2 was never in their hands. "We would have loved to, but it wasn't our decision to make," Vincke confessed, leaving a labyrinth of questions!
The plot thickens as Larian shifts gears to forge a new Divinity quest, declaring 'game over' for new BG3 releases. The power to conjure a Switch 2 version now lies in the realm of Wizards of the Coast. Unfortunately, they're casting Silence and leaving us in the dark!
Gamers, it's a lamentable tale for those with a heart for Switch gaming. Baldur's Gate 3 reshaped the RPG world, scoring a heroic 10/10 with its intense tactical combat, riveting narratives, stunning cinematics, and treasure-filled worlds. Missed chances don't get any bigger than this!
But fear not, we've ventured deeper into Larian's world! From discussions on the curious case of Wyll's storyline to the studio's tease—or not—of generative AI in new Divinity titles. Venture forth into these stories and more!
