It’s wild to think about the pressure Hasbro must be feeling to deliver after BG3 set the bar so high, but honestly, the modding community is already doing the heavy lifting keeping the game alive and fresh. Fingers crossed they find a dev team that can channel that same magic without losing the soul of what makes Baldur’s Gate so special.

Here's hoping they find a dev team that can honor the legacy while bringing fresh ideas to the table—and maybe throw in some more mind flayer shenanigans for good measure.
