Larian Studios , be intimate for games like Baldur ’s Gate 3 and immortal : Original Sin , has announced that it will no longer work on Dungeons & Dragons game . The studio will no longer make content for Baldur ’s Gate 3 , admit DLCs , expansions , or a sequel ( Baldur ’s Gate 4 ) .
During a talk at the Game Developers Conference ( GDC ) , Swen Vincke , the founder and CEO of Larian , foretell that the company ’s focus is on creating new and forward-looking experiences rather than DLCs and expansions . Vincke emphasized that while Baldur ’s Gate has been meaning for Larian , he believes it ’s time for the studio to move on , leaving the series ’ future in Wizards of the Coast ’s mitt ( ThanksEurogamer ) .
According to Vincke , the nidus is on reach a signified of joy for players with every game they make , seeking to assure that this attack will leave in smashing success through convinced word - of - mouth recommendations . I feel like almost every studio wants to make a secure secret plan , but I can see where Vincke is number from .
“ Baldur ’s Gate will always have a lovesome bit in our heart . We ’ll forever be proud of it , but we ’re not gon na continue in it . We ’re not gon na make raw expansions , which everybody is expecting us to do . We ’re not gon na make Baldur ’s Gate 4 , which everyone is expecting us to do . We ’re gon na move on – we ’re gon na move away from D&D and part making a fresh thing . I ’m saying it here because we have a forum , and we get bombard by people that require us to do these things , but that ’s not for us . It ’s gon na be up to Wizards of the Coast – it ’s their IP – to come up somebody to take over the torch . We did our Book of Job . ”
This philosophy is a lot more than what he ’s saying . decent now , the industry trend is to take an survive dealership and heavily monetise it . This is with DLC , enlargement , and microtransactions . This would be all right , but ordinarily , if the game does poorly because it ’s not made well , the faculty are laid off or fired to compensate for the gain shortfall . Vincke openly criticized this movement , advocating for a slower pace of development that focus on improve the overall quality of games rather than incessantly generating more revenue .
The future of Baldur ’s Gate 3 might not admit more updates , but there ’s a bombilation about Larian ’s upcoming project . Vincke ’s hints suggest a novel IP may be something entirely dissimilar , but I ’d ideate Sci - Fi is the next whole tone . Larian ’s track platter with the Divinity : Original Sin games has solidify their reputation for making immersive RPGs . Sci - fi is the other side of the coin that Medieval Fantasy is on .
