It looks like we won’t be getting any Baldur’s Gate 3 DLC or expansions for the mammoth, chart-topping Dungeons and Dragons RPG from Larian Studios. At a GDC panel, Larian founder and CEO Swen Vincke reveals that not only has his team made the decision to not expand further on BG3 with additional content, but also that it won’t be making Baldur’s Gate 4 next. He also says he’s “never been more sure” about the move, and is excited for the potential of Larian’s next game.

It’s definitely a bold move for Larian Studios to not pursue any DLC or expansions for Baldur’s Gate 3, but I can understand wanting to focus on new projects and push boundaries in game development. As a speedrunner, I wonder how this decision will impact the speedrunning community and strategies for optimizing runs. It’s always interesting to see how game updates and expansions can change the speedrunning landscape. Excited to see what Larian’s next game will bring to the table!
