Larian Studios eyeing Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 DLC plans but not anytime soon: \u201cWe want to do more\u201d Larian StudiosFollowing Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s historic success in 2023, developers at Larian Studios are eager to \u201cdo more\u201d with the game through possible DLC, but fans shouldn\u2019t expect to see any new content in the near future. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is absolutely massive, in every sense of the word. From its record-breaking debut on Steam to its unprecedented climb on Metacritic, the RPG has become an instant classic, with millions adoring its attention to detail. Not only has it been a massive critical and commercial success, but, the game itself is quite literally massive. With multiple Acts each filled to the brim with dozens of hours of content, few players have actually rolled credits yet, let alone explored other possibilities with new classes. Even with the game\u2019s sheer size, that hasn\u2019t stopped the community from questioning what\u2019s on the horizon. While DLC of any form has been a mystery until now, devs have implied they\u2019re eager to \u201cdo more\u201d with the game, but that it won\u2019t be anytime soon. Amid a stream of news pouring out of Gamescom 2023, including the fact Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is now going ahead with its Xbox launch, Senior Product Manager Tom Butler teased the possibility of DLC in a conversation with IGN. For the immediate future, the dev team is set on \u201cpatching for a while\u201d before they all \u201ctake a holiday.\u201d A well-earned break at that. It\u2019s only after their return that the future of the Baldur\u2019s Gate franchise will start to take shape. Whether that\u2019s a full-fledged sequel, DLC in the interim, or perhaps both, we\u2019ll all just have to wait and see \u201cwhat [they] do next.\u201d But Butler made one thing clear: \u201cWe want to do more.\u201d So players can rest assured the franchise isn\u2019t going anywhere. But given devs are yet unclear on plans for the future, it\u2019d be best not to hold your breath on any sizeable DLC arriving anytime soon. While Larian Studios is indeed having early \u201cdiscussions\u201d and they are eager to continue forward, \u201c[they] don\u2019t know what\u201d it may look like just yet. Devs have previously gone on record to outline the difficulties of adding more to the existing game, suggesting that even so much as raising BG3\u2019s level cap would introduce a range of new design challenges for the team. If that were to happen, Larian Studios would possibly pivot to \u201can expansion\u201d sized content drop given the \u201cdevelopment effort\u201d required. But obviously, that\u2019s purely hypothetical for now with no concrete plans locked in. We\u2019ll all just have to wait and see what the future of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 looks like, but rest assured the devs want to see it continue just as much as fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
