Baldur's Gate 3 Dev Larian Working on Additional Evil Endings, and 'They're Really Evil'
Larian Studios may not be working on full-fledged Baldur’s Gate 3 DLC, but there are at least more evil endings on the way – and founder Swen Vincke says “they’re really evil.”

To help make the transition a bit easier to swallow for fans, the studio has another promising update on the horizon: cross-platform curated mods.
