At a Game Developers Conference (GDC) panel today, Larian Studios founder Swen Vincke dropped something of a bombshell by revealing that the developer isn’t planning to release any expansions or DLC for Baldur’s Gate 3, nor a Baldur’s Gate 4.
Instead, Vincke said at the panel, Larian plans to move away from Dungeons & Dragons entirely and do something new, leaving the IP in Wizards of the Coast’s hands.

Prolly for the best, WotC seems hell bent on destroying every IP goldmine they can, good to not strap yourself to a sinking ship.
Would’ve liked to see some kind of endgame for baldurs gate but oh well.
I think the elder brain is endgame.
Gosh, on one hand this is tragic, on the other I can’t wait to see what they come up with.
ooh. ooh. do pathfinder.
2E please. Owlcat has a great 1E system and both Kingmaker and WotR were solid, but second edition is just a much better system mechanically and balance wise.
Not familiar with Pathfinder 2E. Is it still modeled after DnD 3.x?
No, it’s probably closer to 4E. Unbounded accuracy. Three action economy. Martials and casters are well balanced. Character creation isn’t all about min/maxing, but more on party dynamics. Combat is very tactical.
I never actually played 4E. My friends ran a brief campaign and said it was no good, so I never got a chance to try it.
Still I’d take a look at Pathfinder given what they did with 3E.
I’d laugh so hard if they went all in on Daggerheart.
Could they do a cyberpunk game like this? That could be cool. Maybe something space related?
divinity??
tbh quite weird to leave safe money on the table when you have a popular, finished game you could add a DLC or two for fraction of the cost of creating a new game
The alterative is a game studio milks an IP for everything it’s worth like… Everybody else
