Larian Studios bids farewell to Baldur's Gate franchise after critical success of BG3; Wizards of the Coast seeks new partners to continue popular RPG series

Larian Studios, developer of Baldur's Gate 3, won't be making a Baldur's Gate 4 or future BG content. They plan to move on from D&D to an ambitious new project.

Wizards of the Coast, owner of D&D, is talking to many partners about the future of the Baldur's Gate franchise beyond Larian. They don't want another 25 year gap.

Wizards takes decisions about Baldur's Gate partners and products seriously. The bar is set high after BG3's critical success.

Eugene Evans said popular BG3 characters could potentially appear in future Baldur's Gate products, as they're now D&D canon.

Larian's next project after BG3 will be something "big and ambitious," different from their previous games.
