At a Game Developers Conference (GDC) panel today, Larian Studios founder Swen Vincke dropped something of a bombshell by revealing that the developer isn't planning to release any expansions or DLC for Baldur's Gate 3, nor a Baldur's Gate 4.

Instead, Vincke said at the panel, Larian plans to move away from Dungeons & Dragons entirely and do something new, leaving the IP in Wizards of the Coast's hands.

Prolly for the best, WotC seems hell bent on destroying every IP goldmine they can, good to not strap yourself to a sinking ship.
Would've liked to see some kind of endgame for baldurs gate but oh well.
I think the elder brain is endgame.
Gosh, on one hand this is tragic, on the other I can't wait to see what they come up with.
ooh. ooh. do pathfinder.
Could they do a cyberpunk game like this? That could be cool. Maybe something space related?
tbh quite weird to leave safe money on the table when you have a popular, finished game you could add a DLC or two for fraction of the cost of creating a new game
The alterative is a game studio milks an IP for everything it's worth like... Everybody else
It's not exactly safe money when you're spending well deserved good will continuing to work with a company that is self-destructing it's own good will. They're quitting while they're FAR ahead.
