Larian Studios CEO Defends the Future of Single-Player Games As Future of ‘Baldur’s Gate’ Franchise is Teased
Swen Vincke, the CEO of Larian Studios, has spoken out against the idea that single-player games are dead. His comments came after some industry figures suggested that big single-player games no longer have a future. In a tweet, he firmly disagreed with these claims, saying, “That time of the year again when big single-player games are declared dead. Use your imagination. They’re not. They just have to be good.“

Vincke’s remarks are timely, especially after the success of Baldur’s Gate 3, which many consider one of the best single-player RPGs of all time. The game allowed for co-op play but was largely celebrated for its strong single-player experience.
This has led many to believe that single-player games are far from dead.
