A Very Larian Christmas: Advent Event With Prizes (So Far)

The Holiday season is upon us! Larian Studios, the creative force behind Baldur's Gate 3, has surprised its fans with a festive event packed with intrigue and rewards. This event launched hours after BG3 won Best Community Support at The Game Awards. Here's what you can expect from A Very Larian Christmas and what we know about it so far.

What is the Very Larian Christmas Event?

Larian Studios has kicked off a puzzle-solving journey for their community. This includes BG3 and Divinity fans! The Christmas event is teasing exciting prizes and an unforgettable gift promised by none other than Sven Vincke, the studio's founder.

The event begins with an easy puzzle, which, once solved, unlocks a video featuring the Larian team wishing us happy holidays.

• There will be 12 puzzles in total - one unlocking each day. The last puzzle will be available on 24 December, Christmas eve.

The puzzle series spans twelve days. Fans are already diving into the first challenge, speculating about the nature of the final "huge gift" teased by Vincke. Whether it's exclusive in-game content, physical collectibles, or something entirely unexpected, we don't know! We'll guess we'll find out soon!
