As Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke took the stage at GDC 2024, fans were met with disappointing news. There will be no sequel or expansion for the critically acclaimed Baldur’s Gate 3. This announcement marks the end of an era for fans of the game, who were hoping for more content to delve into.
Vincke made it clear that Larian Studios is ready to move on from Baldur’s Gate 3 and focus on something entirely new. Despite the success of the game, the studio has decided not to pursue any further adaptations of the Dungeons & Dragons license. This decision has left many fans wondering what’s next for the studio.
In a metaphorical explanation, Vincke compared Baldur’s Gate 3 to a dog named Gustav. He stated that Gustav is his own being and that the new project that Larian Studios is working on will have to find a way to coexist with it. This metaphorical farewell to Gustav signifies the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter for the studio.
While details about the new project are scarce, fans are already speculating about what Larian Studios could be working on. Could it be a sequel to the Divinity series that put the studio on the map? Or perhaps it’s an entirely new IP that will take the gaming world by storm. Whatever the case may be, fans are eagerly awaiting more information about the studio’s upcoming project.
Larian Studios’ decision not to pursue a sequel or expansion for Baldur’s Gate 3 marks a new beginning for the studio. While fans may be disappointed by the news, it’s clear that the studio has something exciting in the works. As we eagerly await more details, one thing is certain – Larian Studios is a developer to keep an eye on in the coming year.
