During a Reddit AMA on January 9, 2026, Larian Studios expressed interest in bringing its upcoming game Divinity to Nintendo's Switch 2, while explaining why Baldur's Gate 3 won't appear on the platform. The session also addressed the studio's evolving stance on generative AI amid recent backlash. Technical director Bert emphasized Larian's affection for Nintendo hardware.
Larian Studios, known for Baldur's Gate 3, hosted a Reddit AMA on January 9, 2026, fielding questions about its future projects and platform support. The event followed the announcement of Divinity at The Game Awards in December 2025, Larian's next major release after the acclaimed RPG.
Fans inquired about a potential Switch 2 port for Divinity. Larian's technical director, posting as u/Bert_Larian, highlighted the studio's recent release of Divinity Original Sin 2 on the current Nintendo Switch, stating, "We love the platform." He assured enthusiasts that the team "will certainly consider" adapting Divinity for the upcoming console, offering hope to Nintendo users eager for the turn-based RPG.
The AMA also tackled Baldur's Gate 3's absence from Switch 2. CEO Swen Vincke responded to a query about portability, saying, "We would have loved to, but it wasn’t our decision to make." Speculation points to external factors, possibly from Dungeons & Dragons IP owners Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast, or Nintendo itself, complicating Larian's efforts. Vincke provided no further details, though a third-party port remains a possibility.
Portability featured prominently, with Bert expressing enthusiasm for Steam Deck support for Divinity. "Since [Baldur's Gate 3] was one of the most played games on the platform, we will do our best to again release on the platform," he said, nodding to the game's prior success there.
The session addressed controversy over Larian's use of generative AI, initially mentioned for exploring ideas, concept art, and placeholder text post-Divinity reveal. Backlash prompted Vincke to clarify: "Holy **** guys we're not 'pushing hard' for or replacing concept artists with AI." He announced the AMA in response and later confirmed the studio had adjusted its AI approach.
