"Baldur's Gate 4: Larian CEO Addresses D&D 5E Compatibility and Ambitious New Combat Ideas"

Larian, the studio behind Baldur's Gate 3, had considered a proper sequel and DLC for the game but ultimately decided to move away from Dungeons & Dragons due to creative constraints and a desire to explore new ideas. CEO Swen Vincke revealed that the team felt they hadn't achieved closure with BG 3 and didn't want to force themselves to continue in that direction. Moving forward, Larian aims to create a new RPG that will surpass their previous titles, and distancing themselves from D&D will provide more creative freedom for their next project.
