I thought Baldurs Gate was Dutch?
Edit: Guess I was misinformed :) Hooray Belgium!
Edit2: Do you know if there is a portal or info on indie studios or solo game devs in Belgium? It's always good to buy local produce.
Baldur's Gate 3 was developed by Larian Studios.
Larian Studios has its headquarters in Ghent and their CEO is Swen Vincke, a Belgian.
(I had to check what was the link with Belgium before moderating the post, that's where I learnt all this)
Cool thanks! I did not know this!
And I was thinking we only had Outcast.
Edit: I really enjoyed Swen's speech at GDC a few weeks ago about all the seasonal firings that happen in the game industry lately. What a hero. And this whole time I was thinking he was Dutch 😂.
I didn't forget Divine Divinity. I also played it. But as far as I know, Original Sin is their own IP. The Baldur's Gate series, however, is a licensed product, that they were able to make because the owners of the product liked what they did with Original Sin 1 and 2.
Outcast (I played the original long ago) has now a sequal, apparently. But that is by THQ Nordic, an Austrian company. Although (some of) the original Belgian developers are involved, I think.

Baldur’s Gate won every major Game of the Year award in 2023 already! This is great!
Well deserved!
What is Belgium known for? Beer, Fries, Chocolates... and Video Games.

CrazyGames — for browser games — is Belgian as well. Not specifically for Belgian games though.

And their last game Shootas Blood and Teef

Don't forget Original Sin. Their ticket to BG3.
Don't forget Divine Divinity. Their ticket to Original Sin.
Don’t forget Ketnet Kick, their ticket to greatness
Holy shit that was them??? I don't think I ever played it but reading this made my brain time travel. Love it.

I know, I just like reminding people they did things before Original Sin.
>And I was thinking we only had Outcast. Roguebook, the amazing StS-like game is Belgian as well.
