Larian is ready to leave the universe of Baldur's Gate behind.
In a surprising announcement from Larian Studios, the developer behind Baldur's Gate 3 has confirmed that it has no plans for future DLC or expansions for its acclaimed role-playing game. Following the massive success of BG3 this past year, many fans expected that Larian would move to work on DLC as a way of continuing to support the title for the long haul. After all, Baldur's Gate 3 sold at an incredibly high rate for Larian, which made future expansions seem quite likely.
As reported by IGN, Larian Studios founder Swen Vincke revealed at GDC 2024 today that DLC for Baldur's Gate 3 isn't happening. Furthermore, Vincke said that Larian also won't now be working on Baldur's Gate 4. Although the studio's next project wasn't specifically shared, Vincke went on to say that Larian will be leaving the Dungeons & Dragons IP behind entirely.
One reason why Larian might be opting to end its work on Baldur's Gate 3 is because of the game's development history. For those who might not remember, BG3 initially launched all the way back in 2020 via early access. From here, Larian began working in tandem with the game's burgeoning community to craft the 1.0 iteration of BG3 that would eventually arrive in 2023.
How do you feel about this surprising announcement from Larian that Baldur's Gate 3 will not be getting new add-on content? Are you happy to see the studio moving on to another project, or would you prefer them to keep supporting BG3 a bit longer?
