Baldur's Gate 3 developers planned to make a cooperative mode like in Divinity games

Larian Studios has planned to introduce a challenging co-op mode in Baldur's Gate 3, similar to the one used in Divinity Original Sin. Plans for such a mode were revealed by studio founder Sven Vinke at PC Gamer's roundtable.

In Divinity Original Sin and its sequels, players could interact in multiplayer using pre-set dialogs. In Baldur's Gate 3, however, such a system could not be implemented.

Vinke explained that the team tried to adapt the cooperative approach from Divinity, but realized that it was too complicated for Baldur's Gate 3, and in the end had to limit themselves to a simplified version of the system.Vinke mentioned that Larian intends to apply a similar approach in another project, without specifying whether it will be the next game of the studio.

At the moment, Larian Studios is simultaneously developing two games in its unique universes, the release dates of which have not been announced yet.
