Swen Vincke, Larian's founder, hinted at an exciting project that aims to push boundaries, though specific details remain scarce. The new game will not be a sequel to Baldur’s Gate 3 or a Dungeons & Dragons title, leaving fans speculating whether it might introduce a novel universe or even shift genres. Considering Larian's history of creating dynamic fantasy RPGs, the possibilities are intriguing.

Larian Studios is focused on developing a brand new game that is not a sequel to Baldur's Gate 3 or related to Dungeons & Dragons, amid a media blackout on specifics for the foreseeable future.
