## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Video game development and publishing, with a focus on role-playing games (RPGs).
- **Target customers**: B2C (gamers on PC, console, and mobile), with a strong community of RPG enthusiasts.
- **Mission/purpose statement**: “Creating immersive, world-class RPGs that allow the player to shape their own adventure.” (from [larian.com](https://larian.com/))

## Products & Services
- **Divinity Series**: A collection of six RPGs spanning multiple sub-genres, including *Divine Divinity*, *Beyond Divinity*, *Divinity II: Ego Draconis*, *Divinity: Dragon Commander*, *Divinity: Original Sin*, and *Divinity: Original Sin II*. The latter two are particularly celebrated, with *Original Sin II* earning a 93 Metacritic rating and over 160 awards.

- **Upcoming Projects**: A new *Divinity* title is in development (announced but not yet released).

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available (private company).
- **Key Metric**: Baldur’s Gate 3 was a massive commercial and critical success, selling millions of copies and winning over 200 Game of the Year awards. Revenue is not disclosed, but the company is self-funded through game sales.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: None (independent studio; no external funding rounds reported).
- **Growth Signals**: Employee headcount grew from ~300 (around 2020) to 530 as of 2025 ([wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larian_Studios)). The company expanded from its original Ghent studio to seven global locations (Ghent, Quebec City, Dublin, Kuala Lumpur, Guildford, Barcelona, Warsaw). Active job postings count 35 openings as of late 2026 ([linkedin.com](https://linkedin.com/company/larian-studios)).

## Competitive Advantages
- **Creative Independence**: As a privately held, bootstrapped studio, Larian retains full control over its game design without publisher interference.

- **Deep Player Agency**: Games are known for turn-based combat, branching narratives, and almost limitless player choice – a hallmark that builds strong community loyalty.

- **Talent Investment**: The company is actively hiring across design, engineering, audio, and production disciplines, aiming to scale its ambition and improve “the state of the art when it comes to RPGs” ([larian.com/careers](https://larian.com/careers)).

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Larian describes itself as “a very ambitious team that seeks to improve the state of the art” and prides itself on “having fun bringing worlds to life every day” ([larian.com](https://larian.com/)).
- **Work Environment**: Positions are primarily on‑site at one of the seven studios (Ghent, Barcelona, Dublin, Guildford, Kuala Lumpur, Quebec, Warsaw). Remote/hybrid options are not explicitly advertised; most listings specify “On‑site”.
- **Perks & Engineering Culture**: The studio invests heavily in proprietary engine technology (Divinity Engine) and supports a wide range of specializations (gameplay, graphics, tools, engine programming, machine learning, etc.). Team members come from top studios like CD PROJEKT RED, Ubisoft, and Creative Assembly.
- **Notable Perks**: Not detailed in the search results, but the company’s independence and award‑winning track record suggest a creative, low‑bureaucracy environment.
