    They already conquered that IP. What’s next?

    Please be Star Trek!

  2. What? Without milking the DLC for three more years?!

    Take my money already!

    I was wondering how long it’d take for this to get here.

    Though this isn’t surprising. I know a lot of people wanted BG3 DLC but historically Larian doesn’t really do DLC/Expansions.

    I’ve heard it suggested their next game is gonna be a space game of some sort, though I still expect they’ll want to get back to the world of Divinity at some point as well.

    It wont be the next game, but supposedly Larian is [trying to build up to something that will dwarf BG3.](https://www.gamespot.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-dev-is-working-toward-an-rpg-that-dwarfs-it/1100-6522051/)

    It’s sad but I don’t blame them for not wanting to be in bed with Hasbro/WotC for the long term.

    Kudos to Larian. Their version of Baldur’s Gate may be categorically the best one for years to come.

    It’s funny because them doing this so they don’t milk us for money just makes me want to give them more money.

    It’s both sad and exciting. But at least they won’t have to share the profits with Hasbro going forward.

    Not surprising given the treatment of Beamdog and Hasbro’s current financial troubles.

    All I want is a new Mass Effect game with that level of depth and respect for the core material.

  10. Hopefully back to making original IPs. More Divinity would be lovely.

    Could you imagine their take on Warhammer 40K? Imagine the relationships.

    Plot twist, it’s a Tyranid campaign.

    Dang so no Avernus DLC? I totally get why they aren’t but was hoping to get Karlach and Wyll out of the Hells.

  13. Dwealdric

    Damn. I’m fine with no sequel, and no DLC… but I really wish they were going to do more in the Forgotten Realms.

    Legitimately kind of sad about this.

    Hey Swen, go talk to the guys at Pinnacle and make a Deadlands game. I bet they won’t screw you on the license.

  15. CrawlerSiegfriend

    That’s excellent news. D&D has too many built in creativity limiters.

  16. TheProphetic

    I was thinking they could take a shot at reinvigorate the style of the old fallout games.

  17. Konradleijon

    This makes sense. Anyone would want to cut ties to Wizards of the Coast

  18. Aww, I was really hoping for an expansion or 2.

    >!Give me an expansion to fully save Karlach ffs!<
