Baldur's Gate 3 director Swen Vincke teases that Larian has been "buzzing with all the new exciting stuff" while the post-launch teams have been hard at work on the RPG's big updates

The company has opened up a seventh studio to help build the game – this one's in Warsaw, so maybe they'll get a little inspiration from The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red.
