Baldur’s Gate 3’s developer, Larian Studios, has announced that they are venturing into new territory with the development of two games based on their own IP. The studio shared this in a post on Steam earlier today.
The developer said:
As an independent studio since 1996, we value the freedom to follow our creativity wherever it leads. In this case, after six years in the Forgotten Realms and much discussion and rumination, we’ve decided to seize this opportunity to develop our own IPs. We’re currently working on two new projects and we couldn’t be more excited about what the future has in store.
The announcement comes after a series of successes crowned by major awards, including the BAFTA Games Awards 2024, in which Baldur’s Gate 3 was the loudest one. These include Narrative, Music, Performer in a Supporting Role awards, the publicly voted Players’ Choice award, and Best Game.
Larian Studios thanked their community for the support and stated that they are shifting their focus towards their own IPs. Not that they’ll leave Baldur’s Gate 3, but will not develop Baldur’s Gate 4. As a fan, are you going to escort Larian Studios on their new journey? Let us know in the comments below!
