The monumental success of Baldur's Gate 3 has revived the popularity of the Dungeons & Dragons universe, but now Larian Studios wants to work on a different game. However, Hasbro, the company that owns the rights to the franchise, is already considering the development of the next installment.
According to Hasbro, several studios have already offered their services as developers for the new 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?" says Evans. "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.
Hasbro also confirmed that all characters from Baldur's Gate 3 are part of the universe's canon. It's possible that Astarion, Shadowheart, Gale, and other heroes might appear in future products.
Earlier, it was noted that Baldur's Gate 3 became the first game in history to win the main trophy at five prestigious ceremonies.
