Baldur's Gate 3 Dev Now Giving "Full Attention" To Next Game, Codenamed Excalibur

What exactly is Excalibur? We have no idea, but it's in the works now.

Larian Studios is now giving its "full attention" to the team's next game, following the breakout success of Baldur's Gate 3. A spokesperson for the studio confirmed this to VideoGamer, adding that Larian will be on a "media blackout" going ahead.

[Larian boss Swen Vincke] and the team['s]… full attention is focused on crafting their next title," a spokesperson said.

Vincke also recently responded to a documentary about Larian titled "Larian Studios: From Bankruptcy to Baldur's Gate 3." The feature digs into Larian's origins and goes over the team's history as a game developer, leading up to the launch and huge success of Baldur's Gate 3.

Vincke said watching the video made him feel "all nostalgic." He added, "It really has been a incredible journey so far. But the story ain't over yet. Stay tuned. Going to try to skip the dark night of the soul moment though if you don't mind."

As for Larian's next game, the studio is working on a title codenamed "Excalibur." There is no word on what this game actually is, though we know it won't be Baldur's Gate 4.

Beyond Larian's next game, Vincke is thinking even further out and has grand plans to create a "very big RPG" that will "dwarf" any of Larian's previous releases. "It's an inspirational goal. That's it. I cannot say more, because it needs to stay in that dream-reality," he said.

While Larian will not make Baldur's Gate 4, Hasbro has said it is keen to expand the Baldur's Gate series with other teams. "We're going to take our time and find the right partner, the right approach, and the right product," Hasbro previously said about the future of Baldur's Gate.

They had the right partner and they ruined the relationship to the point Larian didn't even want to do DLC for the game. I genuinely can't think of a single company out there that could do a Baldur's Gate 4 serious justice. You'd likely have to form a new D&D dedicated studio to even have a chance.

@loveblanket: I mean, Larian has never done DLC for any of their games. I think it’s just their thing.
