MSN.com still exists? It seems it does.
This hardly counts as news I guess, because after the success of BG3, is 
anyone surprised they want to have another one out ASAP to capture the 
success of the last one? Recipe for disaster IMHO, but well, WOTC's 
gonna WOTC.

Baldur's Gate 4 will not take 25 years promises Dungeons & Dragons owner
Story by Adam Starkey

With Larian Studios not making a sequel to Baldur’s Gate 3, Hasbro is 
already in talks with other studios for the next game – but who could 
they be?

Baldur’s Gate 3 was one of the biggest game of 2023, with its critical 
and commercial success confirming developer Larian Studios as one of the 
most talented studios working today.

While that level of success would make most studios double down on DLC 
and a sequel, Larian announced last month it isn’t doing either – with 
the developer moving away from the Dungeons & Dragons licence entirely 
for its next game.

The owner of that licence, Hasbro and Wizards Of The Coast, has now 
stated it is actively in talks with other developers about partnering up 
for Baldur’s Gate 4 – but they aren’t in a ‘rush’ to make any decision yet.

Speaking at the Baftas, senior vice president of digital strategy and 
licensing at Hasbro, Eugene Evans, said: ‘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.
