  • Larian Has No Plans to Make a Baldur's Gate 4

    During a Game Developers Conference (GDC) panel, Larian Studios founder Swen Vincke revealed that the studio has no plans to release any expansions or DLC for Baldur's Gate 3. Furthermore, the studio may never work on a Baldur's Gate 4 at all. This is according to information shared from the GDC panel via IGN.

    Vincke said during the panel that Larian wants to move away from Dungeons & Dragons entirely. He said that the studio would like to do something new and will instead leave the IP with Wizards of the Coast. Obviously, it's a little too early to say whether or not Hasbro, which owns Wizards of the Coast, will seek another developer for a possible Baldur's Gate 4.

    The possibility of Baldur's Gate 3 DLC or expansions was tossed around for a little while at Larian, but these new statements seem to have put those thoughts to bed for good.

    Baldur's Gate 3 continues to be a massive success for all studios involved. The game won even more Game of the Year awards this week at the Game Developers Choice Awards. In addition to winning Game of the Year, Baldur's Gate 3 also won for Best Narrative, Best Design, and the Audience Award.

      by Shawn Zipay
      It's apparently not Larian's decision to make.

      The door to a possible Switch 2 release of Baldur's Gate 3 was firmly slammed shut today. During a Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA), Larian Studios' CEO Swen Vincke says that while Larian "would have loved to" release a Switch 2 port, it just isn't happening.

      Early in the day on Friday, January 9th, the team from Larian fielded a bunch of questions from fans through Reddit. One user asked about if it was possible to...

      Baldur's Gate 3 takes home four awards after being nominated in 11 categories.

      It was another huge night for Baldur's Gate 3 and Larian Studios. Though the 2023 RPG came up short of sweeping the 11 categories it was nominated in, it still managed to take home four awards at the 2024 BAFTA Games Awards.

      One of those awards being the Best Game Award in which it beat out Alan Wake 2, Dave the Diver, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, and Super...

      Developer Claims Baldur's Gate 3 Takes 100 Hours to Complete
      by Shawn Zipay
      Larian Studios claims a standard playthrough of their RPG will take up to 100 hours.

      It's a good thing that Larian Studios moved up the release date for Baldur's Gate 3, because the studio says a "standard playthrough" will take anywhere from 75 to 100 hours. This means if you want to complete the game before Starfield is out on September 6th, you best get to playing Baldur's Gate 3 ASAP.

      Larian Studios says that their upcoming RPG can take up to 100 hours if...

      Larian Not Involved in Upcoming Baldur's Gate HBO Series

      Will continue the story after the events of Baldur's Gate 3.

      Baldur's Gate 3 was a massive hit for developer Larian Studios. The game won countless Game of the Year awards and still manages to easily pull in over 50,000 players daily even though the game came out in August 2023. It should really come as no surprise that Baldur's Gate is getting a TV show adaptation, joining with several other popular games that are being turned into shows or films over the past few years.
