The developer behind the popular, award-winning<\/a> and slightly bawdy<\/a> Baldur's Gate 3<\/em><\/a> confirmed that it won't be doing Baldur's Gate 4<\/em> \u2014 but it does have other irons in the fire.<\/p>\n "We won't be introducing any major new narrative content to the story of Baldur's Gate 3<\/em> (BG3) or its origin characters and companions, nor will we be making expansions or Baldur\u2019s Gate 4<\/em>," Larian Studio wrote in a community update on Steam<\/a>. "We\u2019re currently working on two new projects and we couldn\u2019t be more excited about what the future has in store."<\/p>\n Larian promised more news about the new games "later down the line," but did give a hint about the style. "Know that even as our focus turns to these new games, the sensibilities that brought you Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 are alive and well here at the Larian castle. I don\u2019t know if we\u2019re going to pull it off, but looking at our narrative, visual and gameplay plans, I think what we\u2019re working on now will be our best work ever."<\/p>\n Baldur's Gate 3<\/em> has been praised<\/a> for its breadth, character development, puzzles, combat, D&D fidelity and, of course, intimate relationships<\/a>. It sold around 15 million copies, far exceeding the expectations of the studio, while pretty much sweeping game accolades over the last year. Namely, it took game of the year prizes at The Game Awards, The Steam Awards, D.I.C.E. awards, Streamer Awards, Hugo Awards, GLAAD Media Awards and others.<\/p>\n
