## About
Swen Vincke founded Larian Studios (https://techwiki.ai/companies/larian-studios/llms.txt) in Ghent (https://techwiki.ai/cities/ghent/llms.txt) in 1996. Over nearly three decades he built Larian from an indie developer into one of the most respected RPG studios in the world. The studio is best known for the Divinity series and for Baldur's Gate 3, which launched in full release in August 2023 and swept major GOTY awards that year, including The Game Awards, BAFTA, and GDC.

Baldur's Gate 3 became a cultural event in the gaming industry, praised for its depth, writing, and adherence to Dungeons & Dragons mechanics. The title sold tens of millions of copies and generated significant revenue, making Larian one of Belgium's most commercially successful tech companies by any measure.

Vincke has been outspoken about creative independence, announcing in early 2024 that Larian would not develop DLC for Baldur's Gate 3 and would instead focus on its next original IP. He is considered one of Belgium's most prominent figures in the global tech and creative economy.
