- Future Developments: Akoub mentioned that the company is conceiving plans for the saga, but fans should remain patient.

Context on Baldur’s Gate 3
Baldur’s Gate 3 was a significant triumph and continues to engage numerous gamers. The creative team at Larian Studios executed a remarkable achievement, particularly as it was their first venture into the Baldur’s Gate franchise. Nonetheless, with Larian Studios stepping back from the series, many fans are curious about how Hasbro will select a new developer.
At the upcoming 2025 Game Developer’s Conference, IGN had a discussion with Hasbro regarding Baldur’s Gate and the series’ trajectory. Ayoub stated that a lot of people are keenly interested in Baldur’s Gate, and they are working on plans for its future. He hinted at exciting news soon regarding the series, though they are not ready to announce a full sequel at this point.
Looking Ahead
As for Baldur’s Gate 4, Ayoub expressed a desire to pursue this project, affirming that Hasbro will carefully manage the development to ensure it meets rising expectations. Given that Baldur’s Gate 3 took seven years to create, fans might have to wait several years before they see any teasers or announcements related to a sequel. A new developer will indeed have considerable expectations, continuing the legacy that Larian left behind.
