The holding company for Belgian-controlled games studio Larian, which runs its revenue through its Dublin arm, posted a €249m pre-tax profit last year as the major success of its Baldur’s Gate 3 title supercharged its sales.

The company, which was founded by chief executive Swen Vincke in 1996, operates studios in cities including Dublin, Ghent, Warsaw and Quebec.
