The coast magicians said this week that he plans to earn more games in the form of Baldur Gate 3.
This should not be a big surprise, given that RPG Larian Studios has won enough Game of the Year awards to start Karlach, and still enjoys the phenomenal success almost two years after release. In the way of traditional monitoring, however, a number of factors. The most unsurpassed: Larian announced that it would not create a sequel and instead focuses on other projects. The first announced D&D game, which will be followed by BG3, will be the game Adventure in Giant Skull, a new studio headed by God of War 3 and Star Wars Jedi Jedi director Stig Asmussen.

How do you watch the game like Baldur's Gate 3?
Without the attached Larian, the continuation of the Baldur Gate 3 is a borderline impossible task. Although the game is not called Baldur's Gate 4, the new D&D CRPG will inevitably held on the high standard BG3 set. The developer could stand up and go out of the park on this occasion, but that will be a walk on the rope.
The biggest obstacle is to find a studio in a similar position as Larian Studios in 2017. The Belgian developer had almost two decades of experience with the RPG under the belt before working at the Baldur Gate 3. The divine divinity was not considered an immediate classic after the release, but its slight success allowed Larian to continue to improve his craft as RPG developers. Especially divinity: the original sin and its continuation laid the foundations for the species of extensive CRPG, which would be perfect with the Baldur gate 3.
RPG Mountain climbing
Most of the great RPG developers have a similar arch. It does not always take until it lasts, but most of the heavy hitters of the genre bring mixed results before they leave the park. They travel from uncertainty to the niche of success to the main triumph. The CD project Red followed this journey with the Witcher series. Bethesda spent years of producing PC RPG success before reached a niche with Morrowind, then raised the mainstream mountain with forgiveness, Fallout 3 and Skyrim. This path often monitors the pressure of the developer on the console market. Bioware was a successful PC developer from the Baldur Gate, but did not kick the console market until Mass Effect broke its containment of exclusive Xbox to come to PS3.
RPG developers are like athletes or musicians. They tend to hit a clear peak where they dominate their game, and then refuse. It happened with Bethesda, which was from Skyrim's mountain success on the trajectory down. It happened with Bioware, who enjoyed huge winnings at the end of 00 and early 10 years before faced bland reviews and commercial performance for Mass Effect: Andromeda, Anthem and Dragon Age: Veilguard.
Any studio that would deal with the Baldur Gate 4 would probably be on the way up. Studios on the way down have their own franchises, which you can watch in the hope of rejuvenation. Why make Baldur's Gate 4 when fans demand Fallout 5 and Elder Scrolls 6? The studio that will eventually take it will be the one who tries to settle, as Larian did with the Baldur gate 3.
Will the risks outweigh the rewards?
The problem is that the risks can outweigh the reward. Whether it is Planescape: TORMENT 2, ICEWIND Dale 3, or Baldur's Gate 4, any studio that compares after the BG3 with Lariant. Larian was lucky to take over a series that was a long sleeping and Be the first big triple-a crpg that breaks out in years. His work on BG3 could be compared with his own previous work, not with another titanium of the modern genre.
Anyone who makes another D&D RPG will not have the luxury. Can it be deep, but it's as deep as BG3? Can it have great companions, but are they as iconic as Astarion and Lae'zel? Can it have fun, a tactical fight, but is it as reactive and layered as BG3 fighting? Could it have huge opportunities to play roles, but are so many as in BG3? It is an attractive design for every developer, but creating a D&D game in the same form as Baldur's Gate 3 can be poisoned by a chalice.
