Vincke adds that he &#8220;won&#39;t make new expansions like everyone expects.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the company will be moving on to something different, with an eye toward &#8220;creating something new&#8221; while taking a step back from long-running D&#038;D games.<\/p>\n<p>As such, anyone expecting anything after Baldur&#39;s Gate 3 might be disappointed, with Vincke confirming that there won&#39;t be a follow-up in the series, at least from Larian.<\/p>\n<p>However, the franchise may not be entirely dead.  The Dungeons &#038; Dragons license for BG3 is held by Wizards of the Coast, who may decide to hand over a new game project to another studio in the future.<\/p>\n<p>There&#39;s no telling at this point what this new idea will develop, so it&#39;s hard to say how much it might deviate from the fantasy RPG series.<\/p>\n<p>When it was released in August last year, <strong>Baldur&#39;s Gate 3<\/strong> received immense praise.
