Baldur’s Gate 3 Dev Larian Says Its 'Full Attention' Is on Its Next Game, 'Media Blackout' for the Foreseeable

By JoshuaFeb 22,2025

Larian Studios, the creators of the critically acclaimed Baldur's Gate 3, have announced a media blackout as they shift their focus entirely to their next, unannounced project. While Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 8 is slated for release later this year, Larian's CEO, Swen Vincke, confirmed via Twitter and a subsequent statement to VideoGamer that the studio's full attention is now dedicated to this new endeavor.

Vincke's tweet expressed a sense of accomplishment regarding Baldur's Gate 3's success but hinted at future projects. Larian's official statement reinforced this, declaring a "media blackout" for the foreseeable future.

Details about the next game remain scarce. Larian has confirmed it won't be a Baldur's Gate sequel or any other D&D title. Instead, it's an entirely original creation, a direction the studio chose after internal discussions revealed a lack of enthusiasm for a direct Baldur's Gate follow-up.

Previous statements from Vincke offer only vague clues. In November 2023, he teased that the new project would "push many boundaries," while in July 2023, he mentioned a future Divinity: Original Sin sequel as a possibility, though not necessarily the immediate next project.

Speculation abounds regarding the nature of this new game. Given Larian's history with fantasy RPGs, a shift to science fiction, a modern setting, or even a different genre altogether remains a distinct possibility. However, significant time – potentially years – may pass before any further information is revealed.
