Apr 12, 2024 6:03 PM

With the critically-acclaimed success of Baldur's Gate 3, voice actors Neil Newbon and Amelia Tyler have expressed interest in returning to their roles in future Dungeons & Dragons projects. Baldur's Gate 3, developed by Larian Studios, has seen significant accolades, including a Best Game win at the 2024 BAFTA Awards. Despite confirming there will be no Baldur's Gate 4 or DLC for the third installment, Larian Studios has hinted at their characters' potential future, given Wizards of the Coast's focus on expanding D&D video games. This expansion includes new projects from developers like Starbreeze and Gameloft, opening possibilities for these beloved characters to reappear.

What could the focus on D&D video games from Wizards of the Coast mean for future titles?

The renewed focus from Wizards of the Coast suggests that we can expect a diverse range of Dungeons & Dragons themed video games to be released in the future. This could lead to various genres expanding the D&D universe, creating opportunities for characters from Baldur's Gate 3, such as Astarion, to crossover and be featured in new and exciting storylines across multiple gaming platforms.

Baldur's Gate 3 has set a benchmark in role-playing games, blending intricate narrative and player-driven choices with the lore of Dungeons & Dragons. The series itself is a revered name in RPGs, with a legacy dating back to 1998 with the original Baldur's Gate. The game's impact on the genre is notable, inspiring numerous RPGs with its combination of rich storytelling, character development, and strategic combat, all while allowing players to explore the Forgotten Realms of the D&D universe.
