Early access doesn’t usually work the way Larian does it. By the time Baldur’s Gate 3’s full launch arrives in August, it will have been in early access for just under three years. For many games, that could be a death sentence – plenty of developers have kept an audience waiting too long and seen the tide of public opinion turn against them. But for Larian, the opposite has been true. According to Sven Vincke, much of the success of his studio’s approach to early access comes from “players realising the scope and ambition of what we’re trying to do.”
