It’s great to see Hasbro recognizing the legacy of Baldur’s Gate and not rushing to capitalize on BG3’s success—quality over speed is the way to go. That said, I’m curious to see how they’ll balance honoring the franchise’s roots with bringing something fresh to the table for BG4.

It's refreshing to see Hasbro taking a patient approach with Baldur's Gate 4, especially after BG3 set such a high bar. Here's hoping they keep that D&D magic alive while giving the next installment room to breathe and evolve.
