Larian Studios to Cease Development on Baldur's Gate Franchise, Focuses on New Projects

The studio confirms its departure from the Baldur's Gate series, citing a desire to explore new creative directions and the success of Baldur's Gate 3.

Larian Studios, led by CEO Swen Vincke, has announced it will not be developing Baldur's Gate 4 or any DLC for Baldur's Gate 3, choosing instead to focus on new projects.
Despite the decision, Larian Studios is working on additional evil endings for Baldur's Gate 3, aiming to satisfy players who prefer an evil campaign.
Larian Studios emphasizes that the decision to move on from Baldur's Gate was made independently and is not due to any conflict with Wizards of the Coast, the D&D IP owner.
Baldur's Gate 3 has been a commercial success, with sales figures nearly double those of its predecessor, Divinity: Original Sin 2, estimated around 15 million copies.
Larian Studios is excited for its future projects, which will diverge from the Dungeons & Dragons universe and explore new creative directions.
