BALDUR'S GATE 3 DIRECTOR PLANS EPIC RPG TO RULE ALL

Mar 22, 2024 11:44 AM

Baldur's Gate 3, the critically acclaimed RPG from Larian Studios, is not receiving any DLC or a sequel anytime soon as confirmed by CEO Swen Vincke. Despite the success of Baldur’s Gate 3 and pressure to capitalize on its popularity, Larian is choosing to focus on developing entirely new projects. Vincke emphasized the studio's ambition to innovate rather than to continue with previous successes and plans to eventually create "a very big RPG that will rule them all". This future project is dependent on yet-to-exist technological advancements. Larian, having just won more awards for their latest game, is turning away from expected routes like DLCs to chase after what appears to be a groundbreaking vision for a future title.

Is Baldur's Gate 3 getting any downloadable content (DLC)?

No, Baldur's Gate 3 will not be receiving any downloadable content, and there are no plans for a sequel as the developers at Larian Studios are focusing on creating new and innovative RPG experiences.

Baldur's Gate 3, released by Larian Studios, known for their deep role-playing games like the Divinity series, is an RPG set in the Dungeons & Dragons universe. It garnered attention for its complex narrative, strategic combat, and faithful representation of D&D mechanics. Fans were eager for additional content given the game's depth and open-world exploration. The news that no DLC is planned might come as a surprise to some, but it reflects Larian's commitment to pushing the boundaries of the genre and their preference for working on fresh ideas over expanding existing ones.
