Larian founder Swen Vincke has announced that the studio is stepping away from D&D and won’t make DLC or a sequel for Baldur’s Gate 3.
With the sheer popularity surrounding Baldur’s Gate 3, the game is ripe for an expansion — but if it ever happens, it won’t be made by its developer Larian Studios. During a panel at the Game Developers Conference on Thursday, Larian founder Swen Vincke revealed that the studio plans on moving away from Dungeons & Dragons games, as first reported by IGN. “We’re not going to make new expansions, which everybody is expecting us to do.
” Larian’s announcement is a bit of a surprise given the massive success it has seen with Baldur’s Gate 3, which swept the DICE Awards and sold over 10 million copies. But instead of moving forward with the franchise, Vincke said the studio is going to let Dungeons & Dragons owner Wizards of the Coast handle it from here. “It’s going to be up to Wizards of the Coast, because it’s their IP, to find somebody to take over the torch,” Vincke said.
