Fan reactions to an HBO adaptation of Baldur’s Gate 3 have been apprehensive at best, but Larian Studios boss and game director Swen Vincke offered a diplomatic and hopeful message regarding the announcement.
In an X post, Vincke reminisced about the development of Baldur’s Gate 3’s story, adding that he believes the game’s developers will find the news “cool” and that showrunner Craig Mazin contacted Larian to discuss the adaptation.
The HBO show will depict events that occur after the video game, and fan concerns stem from the fact that there are several possible endings that the show can pick up from. Vincke wrote on X: “The endings of BG3 were created so they could serve as narrative soil for new adventures. There’s plenty of directions they could go. I’m eager to find out which ones Craig and his team will pick. He’s reached out for a chat, so we’ll have the opportunity to tell him our thoughts.”
