Baldur's Gate 4 Was Playable But Ultimately Abandoned by Larian
Larian Studios, creators of the 2023 Game of the Year, Baldur's Gate 3, have revealed details about a shelved project: a Baldur's Gate 4.
A Playable Baldur's Gate 4 Was Abandoned
In a recent interview with PC Gamer, CEO Swen Vincke disclosed that a follow-up to BG3, already in a playable state, was abandoned in favor of new projects. While acknowledging its potential appeal to fans, Vincke cited the team's weariness after years of working within the Dungeons & Dragons universe as the reason for its cancellation. The prospect of potentially spending another three years iterating on a similar project proved unappealing.
The decision, however, boosted team morale. Vincke emphasized the desire to pursue original ideas, leading to a renewed sense of creative freedom and high spirits within Larian Studios. This also led to the shelving of planned BG3 DLC.
Moving Forward: New Projects and a Potential Divinity Sequel
Larian Studios is now focused on two undisclosed projects, described by Vincke as their most ambitious yet. While a Divinity: Original Sin sequel is "definitely on the horizon," Vincke clarified that their next entry in that series will be unexpected.
Baldur's Gate 3's final major patch, slated for Fall 2024, will include mod support, cross-play, and new evil endings.
