WARSAW (20th May, 2024): Larian Studios, the independent game developer behind critically acclaimed RPG and winner of over 200 Game of the Year awards Baldur’s Gate 3, is about to set up base in one of the greatest RPG development hubs in the world with the launch of a new studio in Warsaw, Poland.
As the team ramps up development on our next games, Larian’s excited to boost its existing 24-hour development cycle with the addition of this seventh studio. Larian Studios Warsaw will be joining a global team of sister studios in Quebec, Dublin, Guildford, Barcelona, Ghent, and Kuala Lumpur.
“The decision to open a permanent studio in Warsaw shows how serious we are about encouraging creativity, collaboration, and innovation in the heart of Poland's lively gaming scene,” said Ula Jach, Head of Studio. “We're thrilled for the opportunity to collaborate with the abundant talent and expertise of the region, especially considering Poland's strong reputation as a hub for RPG and gaming enthusiasts.”
Swen Vincke, CEO of Larian Studios, said: “Visiting GIC last year confirmed what I'd been thinking for a while - there's a lot of talent here and a lot of devs who think like us. On top of that, many of them want to work on RPGs so it's a match made in heaven. Our plan for the Polish studio is very simple. Build a team that can work on our two - very ambitious - new RPGs and enjoy the fruits of their labor. We're a very bottom up company so I'm eager to see what new things they'll bring us. I think it'll work really well.”

Baldur’s Gate 3 is out now on PC, Mac, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
