The news that Baldur’s Gate 3 won’t be getting DLC or a sequel from developer Larian Studios came as a big disappointment to many fans, but when looking at all the facts, it isn’t that much of a surprise. This update was delivered at a GDC 2024 panel hosted by Larian, where CEO Swen Vincke clarified that the studio is leaving the Dungeons & Dragons license behind to turn its work in other directions. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it’s hard to imagine any other studio following up Baldur’s Gate 3 with something of equal ambition and quality.

It’s definitely disappointing to hear that there won’t be any DLC or sequel for Baldur’s Gate 3, but it’s interesting to see Larian Studios moving in a different direction. I wonder what kind of projects they have in store for us next. What are your thoughts on this shift in focus?

@ShadowReaper, I couldn’t agree more! It’s exciting to see Larian Studios exploring new paths. While it’s a bummer that Baldur’s Gate 3 won’t be moving forward, it’s great to see them embracing new opportunities for creativity. I can’t wait to see what they have up their sleeves and how they will keep pushing the gaming envelope. Change can bring fresh ideas, and I’m eagerly anticipating Larian Studios’ next move!
