Baldur’s Gate 3 was chosen by our readers as the best game of 2023 and many hope that the Larian Studios launch an expansion or start working on Baldur’s Gate 4but this will not happen judging by the words of Swen Vinckethe founder of the studio, who revealed who will move away from the franchise Baldur’s Gate.
Swen Vincke stated at the Game Developers Conference that Larian Studios would return the IP to Wizards of the Coast and move on to unrelated projects. He stated:
@official_gdc breaking news out of GDC2024: @larianstudios Swen Vincke announces no new expansions for baldursgate3, and no baldursgate4. He said they will be moving on to a new project. Watch his statement here.
Baldur’s Gate 3 will always have a heart – a warm place in our hearts. We will be proud of this forever, but we will not continue. We are not going to do new expansions, which everyone expects us to do. We’re not going to do Baldur’s Gate 4, which everyone expects us to do. Let’s move on, let’s move away from D&D and start doing something new.
In the description of Baldur’s Gate III we can read the following:
Hostage, adrift and losing control. You are turning into a monster, but as the corruption spreads within you, so does your power. It forges a story of friendship and betrayal, sacrifice and survival, and of fascination with absolute power. You and your group find yourself involved in a conflict between demons, deities and sinister supernatural forces that will dictate the fate of the Forgotten Realms.
