In recent gaming news, developer Larian Studios has confirmed that, despite not working on a sequel or expansions for Baldur's Gate III, they are committed to using early access for their future projects. Swen Vincke, CEO of Larian, mentioned the studio is eager to explore new endeavors after releasing the full version of Baldur's Gate III. Michael Douse, the head of publishing at Larian, highlighted the value of early access releases, citing the marketing challenges in the industry and the opportunity to build community and perfect game loops. The studio is also focusing on moving forward with "big new things," rather than expanding the current Baldur's Gate universe. Larian's leadership criticized recent industry layoffs, remarking that they are unnecessary and driven by interests in appeasing shareholders rather than financial necessity.

Will Larian Studios release a Baldur's Gate III sequel or any expansions in the future?

No, Larian Studios has no plans for a sequel to Baldur's Gate III or expansions, focusing instead on entirely new projects that will likely enter early access during development.

Baldur's Gate III, developed by Larian Studios, launched to significant acclaim, continuing the legacy of the classic RPG series known for its deep storytelling and strategic combat. The series, set in the Dungeons & Dragons universe, has been beloved by RPG fans for decades. While the third installment has received regular updates and a successful full release, fans eager for more may have to wait to see how Larian's experience with Baldur's Gate III will influence their future titles.
