I don’t think I’ve ever been so nervous about an announcement as this one but here it is - this is our biggest most ambitious rpg yet and we can’t wait to show it to you!!!
It's called the Hellstone. We're all ncreasingly divorced from physicality, so we wanted to build a monument for not only our international teams to gather around, but for the rest of the gaming community to rally around. We wanted people to get excited for the next big game on their list, and we wanted to do it in a way that employed skill & craft, by hand, to drive people outside to see it, and to talk about it. So many people assumed it was AI, or even a "UE5 render." Expectations are understandably low.
We saw by the reaction, however, that excitement is at an all-time high. We hope that your favourite game is announced, whatever it may be. We hope that the people making it feel empowered enough to go out and talk to you about it. We hope that the physical world still plays a large role in the adventure that is the video games industry. We at Larian will continue to invest in ways to be tangible, and present, and open with what is clearly an excited and engaged audience.
The level of skill & craftsmanship in creative spaces has never been higher, and I hope we can all make time to go out into the world and appreciate it when we see it. That physicality between the process and audience is that maintains a necessary level of mutual respect. It is very much ok to be excited about video games, and we can't wait to see you in person, when we're ready, on the road to Divinity. Oh and thanks for not setting it on fire.
A new study has found that men have a biological disadvantage at CS2 as they are too focussed telling women how they should feel and what they should be doing with their own league
trans women are women, and they belong in esports. it’s crazy how such a basic fact has had the community up in arms all weekend. seeing all the hate so many people and public figures have in their hearts on social media and in chat was so disheartening, we try to make an inclusive and welcoming space over at @ESLImpact - no hate is allowed here.
you played so incredibly well this weekend @SNComets just know we have your back ❤️
