Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke has confirmed that Baldur's Gate 3 will not receive any expansions, DLC, or a Larian-made sequel. Instead, Larian is pivoting away from the Baldur's Gate 3 universe to something new.

In August, a senior Larian employee confirmed that the studio was discussing the possibility of bringing expansions toBaldur's Gate 3, but the company never confirmed that these talks resulted in anything concrete.

The Larian CEO admitted that this news probably came as a surprise to most fans, who assumed that the studio would continue with post-launch content after the massive success of Baldur's Gate 3.

It's unclear how long Larian plans to support Baldur's Gate 3, but it will likely continue to receive hotfix updates going into the future, especially if the game maintains its large player base.

Larian is working on at least one more significant patch for Baldur's Gate 3 that will introduce cross-platform mod support. The game's fanmade mods have regularly been
