In a mod, not by Larien
Unlikely tbh. Maybe if they do DLC down the road, but they've stated they have no plans to do so.

They really don't do DLC in general

Historically they haven't, yeah.
I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they ended up doing it for this game, but I don't truly expect them to.

Would prefer the Blood Hunter. Why is everyone so hot for the Artificer?

Mods will fill in the gaps for a lot of things like this. I remember in the early access, sometime in 2021, modders had already added in Paladin, Monk and Bard.

Yeh they not big on selling DLC, but they added lots of free content updates for they older games. But Maybe WOTC will ask do more content. But atm we dont know how the future is for BG3. They might wait and see how release go then decide if they leave small team to add content. But if nothing else. Modders should keep adding stuff.
scribblenauts has a better chance of playing a true artificer. In all honesty is really hard to come up with a class that can make stuff. Its really DM reliant. Maybe with AI acting as DMs a decade in the future?

Larian's only game without paid DLC (following the advent of DLC, of course) is D:OS1. Hell, Divinity II (read: not D:OS2) had a full 20 hour expansion.

Yeah, a lot of Larian's DLC, like Sir Lora, is half-assed, but so is adding a few unique class features and reusing spells from other classes.

Because it's the only official class that's missing. I don't think anyone's realistically holding out hope for a homebrew class to be implemented in a game that otherwise only features official 5E content.

Blood Hunter ist homebrew? When I google "Dungeons and Dragons 5e classes" the Blood Hunter is listed in at least the first three search results. Why is that when its a homebrew class?

If you take the time to click on the class in the first result, which should be D&D Beyond, there's a big red text clearly saying "THIS IS UNOFFICIAL MATERIAL". The reason it's there is likely because it's a class created by Matt Mercer for what is essentially a huge promotion campaign (Critical Role) that's making them (WotC) a ♥♥♥♥ ton of money. But no, the class isn't officially part of the game nor is it permitted in the Adventurers League events most of the time. The closest equivalent you'll find would be an Unearthed Arcana class that, which the Artificer was until the release of Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything.

(The second link clearly state it's 3rd Party material and the third link is clearly the equivalent of a game journalist doing barely any research and just pasting without understanding.)

Artificer was built for Eberron as a sort of Steampunk class, and has no place in The Forgotten Realms, imo. It's a damned cool class, and Eberron is a really neat setting - I totally understand fans of it - but it would really feel out of place here to me. If I were you, I'd be hoping Larian or some other great development company, could start work on something approaching the quality of BG3, but for Eberron. I'd love that, too.

Thank you for clarifying. Wasn't aware of that :)

I would absolutely LOVE a Blood Hunter, my favourite class by far
