Baldur's Gate 3 "rekindled many players' love for CRPGs," which Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader dev says is a blessing
It's easy to imagine rival developers as, well, rivals. Crossing their fingers for game-breaking bugs, checking Metacritic scores and slapping their knees in comic anger when another CRPG breaks the 90 barrier. The reality is very different. Many developers at different studios are friends and former colleagues, or they just want to see their corner of the games industry thrive. That's certainly the case with Owlcat Games, the team behind Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader. Owlcat brand manager Anton Emelyanov has recently gone on the record to say he admires Baldur's Gate 3 and the team at Larian, going as far as to say it has proved to the team that there's an audience for narrative-driven CRPGs.
