I believe the engine is larian's

[–] nman90@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Definitely is. Try playing Divinity 2 and you will realize it's the exact same engine just with a modified ruleset to match Baldurs gate more. I actually prefer Divinity, they just have more freedom as far as setting and the ruleset than a liscensed ip owned by another company

That's certain but licensing engine could be additional revenue stream for Larian. They benefit from cRPG market becoming more mainstream too. And I'd kill for more games with couch coop implemented this well.
