Good news everyone, Baldur's Gate 3 lead and regular armour-wearer Swen Vincke has figured out what he wants to do for the first act of his next project. Unfortunately, he won’t say what exactly this mystical next project actually is.

We all liked Baldur’s Gate 3, so is it something to do with that? Well, unfortunately, the answer is a big fat maybe, with a healthy helping of maybe not sprinkled in.

In a Twitter thread that’s bound to leave you scratching your head, salivating for more info, or both, Larian founder Vincke said a lot about this next project and how it’s going, while also not saying very much at all. “After 4 months of rewriting and rewriting and abandoning ideas and then revisiting them, [I’ve] finally figured out what act [one] on this thing I've been working on needs to be,” he wrote, adding: “Quote me when it's revealed to see how much of today's draft survives. I suspect a lot.”
