Larian CEO Challenges Claims That Single-Player Games Are 'Dead'

Swen Vincke argues that high-quality single-player games remain commercially viable and criticizes industry trends prioritizing market share over creativity.

Swen Vincke, CEO of Larian Studios, asserts that single-player games are not 'dead' but must be well-made to succeed.
Vincke criticizes the industry’s focus on market share and arbitrary sales targets, advocating for creative integrity in game development.
Baldur's Gate 3, Larian's 2023 hit, continues to thrive with a strong player base and critical acclaim two years after its release.
Recent successes like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and Metaphor: ReFantazio further demonstrate the viability of single-player games.
Larian Studios is finalizing updates for Baldur's Gate 3 while shifting focus to its next significant RPG project, which is not a direct sequel.
