Overview

  • On its second anniversary, Baldur’s Gate 3 director Swen Vincke announced that BG3 “was what allowed us to do our next crazy thing” and confirmed a secret new game is in active development.
  • Key details—including the project’s genre, format and title—remain undisclosed as Larian asks for patience while it refines the experience.
  • Alongside the unnamed title, the studio is advancing two original RPGs, one codenamed Excalibur, marking a deliberate shift from further Baldur’s Gate sequels and DLC.
  • Minor support for Baldur’s Gate 3 will continue, but Larian has ruled out producing a direct sequel such as Baldur’s Gate 4.
  • Hasbro is in talks with external partners to carry on the Baldur’s Gate franchise under Wizards of the Coast’s D&D license.
