Larian Studios has shifted its focus entirely to developing a new title following the success of Baldur's Gate 3. While limited support will continue for BG3, including updates like Patch 8, the majority of the team's efforts are now dedicated to creating their next major project. Details remain scarce, but the studio plans to maintain a "media blackout" to minimize distractions during development.

Before Baldur's Gate 3, Larian gained acclaim with the Divinity: Original Sin series, which paved the way for its acquisition of the iconic Baldur's Gate license. BG3 became a massive hit, earning numerous accolades and attracting new audiences to the CRPG genre. As a result, anticipation is high for what Larian might unveil next.

The studio recently established a new branch to support two ambitious RPG projects, though it's unclear whether they will pursue both simultaneously. Speculation abounds regarding the direction of Larian's next endeavor, with possibilities ranging from a third installment in the Divinity: Original Sin series to the creation of an entirely original universe. Fans will have to wait patiently for more information.

Meanwhile, the future of the Baldur's Gate franchise rests with Wizards of the Coast, who face the challenge of meeting the expectations set by Larian's iteration. Fortunately, several key voice actors from Baldur's Gate 3 have expressed interest in reprising their roles in potential sequels, regardless of the studio involved.
