Divinity Fallen Heroes is on hold most likely cancelled unless they can find another studio to work on it.

Yeah, contracting Danes might not have been the best decision on Larian's part. They expect to be paid a lot and never do overtime, deadlines be damned.

Well, RIP Fallen Heroes.

Wonder what happened here?

 

[Vorark]

Well fuck, was looking forward to the game.

Larian's statement reads as "nothing-to-see-here, move along". Wonder if there's something bad going on, zero relevant news about BG3 and now this...

deterministic system > RNG

 

[Suicidal]

That's a shame. I was looking forward to this more than BG3.

Wonder what happened here?

It is indeed a bit of a mystery.
Needing resources for BG3, devs not able to fulfill deadlines + Larian not willing to spend more, product was not promising (somewhat doubt that, though, given the Expedition games), ...

Brief mention of Fallen Heroes in Malaysian interview: https://sea.ign.com/baldurs-gate-ii...malaysia-and-the-complexity-of-baldurs-gate-3

Let's talk about Divinity: Fallen Heroes. I heard the development is on hold as of now. But can you tell us what are the unique key points you can say or differences compared to Divinity: Original Sin 2?

Swen: Fallen Heroes is a tactical game so it differs from normal RPG. We always figure that there would be a future for a game that combines Divinity: Dragon Commander and Divinity: Original Sin.

It's basically a mix between Dragon Commander and a tactical game where you can get your missions in between, make your choices and those choices give impact to the consequences. But it was more close to Original Sin in terms of open-world gameplay along with many possibilities.

This allows us to do things we couldn't do before. There's a price to be paid for all that freedom as the developer. It's more a concise experience and we have a lot of material to build. The game is currently on hold but it's not canceled.

So it's a spin-off game? Why not just go straight to Divinity: Original Sin 3?

Swen: (laughs) Yeah, it's a spin-off game. Well, we're making Baldur's Gate 3 so it's consuming all our efforts. It's not a simple game to make.

BG3 will kill the studio, you heard it here first.

Any that you can talk about?

Well, Fallen Heroes. We announced that we closed it [put it on hold indefinitely]. That didn't work out.

Is that gone for good, then?

Yeah, it's gone for good.

That is mildly disappointing. A combat focused game with improved D:OS1/2 combat mechanics and with little to no story-telling/dialogues for Larian to mess up, sounded more promising than BG3 to be honest.

And logic artist. Even with all the criticism, expedition rome still has such a fun tactical combat. The studio is dissolved now. RiP

It could have been Logic Artists best game...

People who slept on Vikings are the real decline enablers.

 

[Shrimp]

I wonder if Logic had to back out because they started working on Expeditions Rome instead or if Larian simply pulled the plug on the project. I guess we'll probably never know.

Yeah so many here just seemed completely unwilling to even try it.

Because it was in a terrible state at release, and that completely killed its momentum. It took me like 3 years to play it myself once I remembered it existed. Shame too because it was a great game.

Logic Artist can only blame themselves for having made the decision to switch on the scam named NFT.
It's what killed them off.
