At a Game Developers Conference (GDC) panel today, Larian Studios founder Swen Vincke dropped something of a bombshell by revealing that the developer isn't planning to release any expansions or DLC for Baldur's Gate 3, nor a Baldur's Gate 4.
Also - we’re not done with updating Bg3. There’s still a bunch of stuff coming like mod support and extra cinematics for some of the endings. Just not new content.
BG3 is genuinely the best video game I’ve ever played and I’ve played like… quite a few of them over 20+ years. A combination of lightning in a bottle and just genuine hard work.
At the same time, I think the story is very much over. They’ve tied a ribbon on it and I really feel like further “expansions” could only make it feel more murky.
As for BG4, this one took about two decades to come out, so I can’t really say how I’ll feel either way in 2050.

I’m kind of alright with this.
