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.

tbh quite weird to leave safe money on the table when you have a popular, finished game you could add a DLC or two for fraction of the cost of creating a new game

It's not exactly safe money when you're spending well deserved good will continuing to work with a company that is self-destructing it's own good will. They're quitting while they're FAR ahead.
