At GDC2024, Larian Studios announced it will not develop expansions, DLC, or a sequel for Baldur's Gate 3, nor will it continue with the Dungeons & Dragons franchise. Swen Vincke, the studio's founder, stated the decision reflects the studio's broader ambitions: "It's not our thing. Life is too short. Our ambitions are very large." Despite initial plans for Baldur's Gate 3 DLC, these were canceled, leading to elation among the team, indicating it was the right decision. Vincke also criticized corporate greed in the industry and attributed it to widespread layoffs. Larian's next project aims to dwarf Baldur's Gate 3, though details remain under wraps. The studio will leave the D&D IP in the hands of Wizards of the Coast, marking a significant shift in focus for Larian Studios.
