Larian to Host AMA on Generative AI Use and Divinity

• Larian will hold an Ask Me Anything session in early 2026 to explain its generative AI practices and answer questions about the new Divinity. • CEO Swen Vincke says the studio uses genAI “to explore ideas, flesh out PowerPoint presentations, develop concept art and write placeholder text.” • The AMA is a response to misinterpretation and backlash after Divinity’s announcement; no exact date has been set. • Larian frames its stance around empowering teams and evaluating new technologies responsibly.

What Larian announced

Larian Studios said it will host a public ask-me-anything (AMA) where players and press can ask about the studio’s use of generative AI and its development process for the newly announced Divinity RPG.

The studio’s CEO, Swen Vincke, framed the session as a way to clear up misunderstandings and provide “more insight” after comments about limited genAI use prompted backlash.

Why the AMA matters

GenAI and game development remain a sensitive topic in the industry. Larian’s announcement follows questions about how far studios rely on tools like generative art and text models during creative workflows.

Vincke says the AMA will give people “the opportunity to ask us any questions you have about Divinity and our dev process directly,” signaling an intent for transparency rather than PR spin.

What Swen Vincke has said about genAI

Vincke described Larian’s current use of generative AI as limited and practical: “to explore ideas, flesh out PowerPoint presentations, develop concept art and write placeholder text.”

He added: “In that context, it would be irresponsible for us not to evaluate new technologies. However, our processes are always evolving, and where they are not efficient or fail to align with who we are, we will make changes.”

Vincke also emphasized studio culture: “Larian’s DNA is agency. Everything we work towards is to the benefit of our teams, games, and players.”

Timing and next steps

There’s no concrete AMA date yet; Larian said it will announce timing once the calendar flips to 2026. Expect the event to cover both technical questions about generative AI and broader questions about Divinity’s design and production timeline.

For developers and players, the session will be a useful indicator of how one of the industry’s leading RPG studios plans to integrate— or limit— generative tools while maintaining craft and creative control.
