Baldur's Gate 3 CEO Swen Vincke says that Larian was "fighting with embassies and consulates" to relocate developers at the developer's Russian studio after the invasion of Ukraine.
When Russia invaded in February 2022, development on Baldur's Gate 3 was well underway, including at the company's studio in St. Petersburg. After the war started, however, that studio was quickly closed. Speaking to Edge, Vincke says that he was already prepared for that eventuality. "I had already thought about what we were going to do if it actually happened," he begins.
