The developer behind the popular, award winning and a little rude Baldur’s Gate 3 confirmed that he would not Baldur’s Gate 4 – but there are other irons in the fire.
“We will not introduce any major new narrative content to the story Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3) or its origin characters and companions, nor will we make expansions or Baldur’s Gate 4“, written by Larian Studio Community update on Steam. “We are currently working on two new projects and we couldn’t be more excited about what the future holds.”
Larian promised more news about the new games “later” but hinted at the style. “Know that even as we focus on these new games, the sensibilities that brought you Baldur’s Gate 3 are alive and well here at Castle Larian. I don’t know if we’re going to take it away, but we’re looking at our game. story, visuals, and game plans, I think, which we’re working on right now. It’s going to be our best thing ever.”
Baldur’s Gate 3 has been praised breadth, character development, puzzles, combat, D&D fidelity, and of course intimate relationships. It sold an estimated 15 million copies, far exceeding the studio’s expectations, while also awarding a huge game last year. Namely, it received game of the year awards at The Game Awards, The Steam Awards, DICE Awards, Streamer Awards, Hugo Awards, GLAAD Media Awards and others.
Directed by Sven Vinke discovered before that the studio abandoned plans for the BG3 DLC and sequel in part due to the limitations imposed by Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition mechanics. Still, a sequel to the Hasbro-owned property is out of the question. “We’ve done our job. It’s a story with a beginning, middle and end. So let’s pass the torch to another studio to take on this incredible legacy,” he added.
