Wizards of the Coast, the owner of the Dungeons and Dragons IP, has revealed that it is discussed the future of Baldur’s Gate with a number of partners, after Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian Studios confirmed it is moving on from the franchise.
Speaking with PCGamer, Hasbro’s senior vice President of digital strategy and licensing, Eugene Evans, revealed that Wizards of the Coast is very much interested in continuing the Baldur’s Gate franchise, and hopes it won’t be another 25 years until the next game.
We’re now talking to lots of partners, and being approached by a lot of partners who are embracing the challenge of, what does the future of the Baldur’s Gate franchise look like? So we certainly hope that it’s not another 25 years, as it was from Baldur’s Gate 2 to 3, before we answer that. But we’re going to take our time and find the right partner, the right approach, and the right product that could represent the future of Baldur’s Gate.

We take that very, very seriously, as we do with all of our decisions around our portfolio. We don’t rush into decisions as to who to partner with on products or what products we should be considering. The bar has been set very high, and it’s our job to reach and surpass that bar.
Baldur’s Gate 3 was released for the PC in August 2023 and arrived on PS5 the following month. You can read our full review here.
