With the world of Dungeons & Dragons now officially behind it, Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian Studios has confirmed it currently has two new projects in development, both based on its own IPs, which studio founder Swen Vincke has described as «our best work ever.»
Vincke revealed Larian was exploring two new games in a conversation with Eurogamer earlier this year, describing them as «big and ambitious» projects «we want to make». That wording suggested things were still up in the air, but it now sounds like plans have solidified following today's announcement Larian is «currently working on two new projects».
Larian shared the news at the end of a Steam blog post detailing Baldur's Gate 3's upcoming patch, which reiterated the studio «won't be introducing any major new narrative content to the story of Baldur's Gate 3 or its origin characters and companions, nor will we be making expansions or Baldur’s Gate 4.»
