Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 dev shares update on possible DLC after successful launch Larian StudiosThe founder and CEO behind Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 developer, Larian Studios, has offered an update about potential DLC expansion plans. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 hit the ground running last week. After securing its place as one of the best Steam launches this year, the RPG then went on to hit a peak of more than 800,000 concurrent users over the weekend. While countless players continue to enjoy the DnD-themed world, many are also wondering what else the crew at Larian may have up its sleeve. Given the incredible success of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, the answer about what\u2019s next may come as a surprise to some. Is Larian Studios working on DLC for Baldur\u2019s Gate 3? Speaking with PC Gamer, Larian founder and CEO Swen Vincke was asked about the possibility of an expansion for Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. Vincke told the publication, \u201chonestly, we haven\u2019t started on an expansion.\u201d DnD\u2019s level cap stops at 20, but BG3\u2019s ends at level 12. As PC Gamer noted, an expansion seems the ideal way to expand on leveling in the recently released role-playing game. But Vincke quickly explained why building out the content in this way would prove \u201cvery hard\u201d from the studio\u2019s standpoint. For one, the closer a player gets to Level 20 in DnD, the more overpowered their abilities become. In other words, such an undertaking would engender several design-based challenges. Vincke expounded on the level cap matter as it relates to potential DLC support for Baldur\u2019s Gate 3: \u201c[Level 12-20] adventures require a different way of doing things, in terms of antagonists you\u2019re going to have to deal with, which require a lot of development to do them properly. Which would make this much more than an expansion in terms of development effort. \u201cA lot of D&D adventures are sub-level 12 for precisely that reason. So it sounds like neat, easy expansion material until you start thinking about it and it\u2019s not as easy as one would imagine.\u201d Though Larian isn\u2019t currently working on an expansion, it doesn\u2019t seem as if the developer is definitively against the possibility. But if such content does ever see the light of day, Vincke\u2019s words indicate players could be waiting for quite a long time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
