Larian Studios Steps Away from D&D and Baldur's Gate 3 Development

TL;DR Summary
Larian Studios has announced that they will not be creating any major new content for Baldur's Gate 3, nor will they be working on Baldur's Gate 4 or anything within the framework of Dungeons & Dragons' Fifth Edition. The decision comes as the team felt that their hearts weren't in it and had new ideas that didn't fit D&D 5e. After completing the game's story, they have decided to pass the torch to another studio. Larian is now working on a new RPG, emphasizing that they are a company of big ideas and not focused on creating DLCs or expansions.
