Is it true that DLC for Baldur's Gate 3 and Baldur's Gate 4 is cancelled?

[Wong Jowo Hunter]

Finally after over a decade, an actual passionate and loving game like Baldur's Gate 3 has blessed this world with its release.

But then I see this sad news/rumor where Baldur's Gate 3 DLC plans were cancelled and the developers were also considering Baldur's Gate 4 in the future but that's also cancelled.

My source is this youtube video from a solid youtuber called MrMattyPlays

Is this true?

[Chaosolous]

It was never planned.

[Lord Adorable]

Neither were ever planned in the first place.

[KRON]

You can't cancel that which wasn't planned to begin with.

And it's not a rumor. Larian themselves have confirmed that they have no plans of expanding BG3 with DLC or to make BG4.

Huh, pretty sad for a game like Baldurs Gate 3. Elden Ring is also another massive game that won GOTY but it also has a DLC that is coming this year.

Heck, the DLC trailer for Elden Ring has almost 9 million views in 1 month which is impressive.

Maybe Larian wants to create a different game or maybe even Divinity Original Sin 3.

Im not a DnD nerd at all (don't even know what they are) or a turn based enthusiast but any game that makes the industry better is a good thing in my book.

BG3 is still an amazing and impressive game without a DLC but I don't understand why abandon it, not even a DLC or anything. Literally a game that has won so many awards and has offended so many AAA companies and AAA game developers.

Literally a blessing to the games industry and yet it is abandoned sadly.

Sure there's little cute updates but then those updates are just updates that fixes this game since this game is kinda problematic, technical computer stuff wise (performance, animations, glitches, bugs, etc.).

Because the devs want to do something else. That's about it.

Larian may give us a Definitive Edition later, but they have never done content DLC. They detest the practice, openly.

I understand why would Larian hates them but I feel like there's actual good expansion packs/DLC in the world.

The upcoming Elden Ring DLC is also looks pretty good, 40 dollars but 40GB file size. Warcraft 3 expansion pack, Frozen Throne is one of the best games and DLC if you're a RTS fan.

Since Larian is responsible for BG3, I feel like the chances of the DLC made by them ended up being really bad and predatory is really small.

Unfortunate but cheers to them

No, if you watch the second series of Firefly you can see one of the characters playing BG4.

They never managed to persuade WOTC, so It wasn't cancelled.

Don't you DARE tarnish the good name of expansion packs like The Frozen Throne with the usage of the term "DLC".>:(

That game has suffered enough already at the hands of Activision!
(No, I adamantly refuse to call them "Blizzard" anymore, they don't deserve the name for their crimes against their own IP's.)

It is a DLC though. DLC and Expansion Pack meant the same thing, its just DLC is shorter.

Also I wouldn't insult a masterpiece like Frozen Throne, unlike Blizzard with "Reforged".

Like some said before. It was never planned.
And addmore they told at release that they were done with DnD.
I don't know why medias are talking about this just right know.
If anything it's old news.

I just knew about it only a few moments ago when I saw Larian's Baldur's Gate 4 and future plans video in Gamespot yt channel which was released only a few days ago.

I guess the next project is probably Divinity Original Sin 3 then, unfortunate but best of luck to them.
