At a Game Developers Conference (GDC) panel today, Larian Studios founder Swen Vincke dropped something of a bombshell by revealing that the developer isn’t planning to release any expansions or DLC for Baldur’s Gate 3, nor a Baldur’s Gate 4.

Instead, Vincke said at the panel, Larian plans to move away from Dungeons & Dragons entirely and do something new, leaving the IP in Wizards of the Coast’s hands.

    2E please. Owlcat has a great 1E system and both Kingmaker and WotR were solid, but second edition is just a much better system mechanically and balance wise.

        No, it’s probably closer to 4E. Unbounded accuracy. Three action economy. Martials and casters are well balanced. Character creation isn’t all about min/maxing, but more on party dynamics. Combat is very tactical.

          I never actually played 4E. My friends ran a brief campaign and said it was no good, so I never got a chance to try it.

          Still I’d take a look at Pathfinder given what they did with 3E.
