Larian Studios has confirmed it is "not involved in any" Baldur's Gate 3-related projects at present, including the widely rumoured Baldur's Gate 4, according to comments from the developer. This matters because it draws a clear line under Larian's stewardship of the Baldur's Gate series, signalling that any future instalment would be developed without the studio behind the acclaimed 2023 role-playing game, and shifting fan attention to who might take up the franchise next.

Despite stepping away from Baldur's Gate, Larian developers have hinted that news related to their own Divinity series is on the horizon, suggesting the studio's next major project may return to the intellectual property it built before Baldur's Gate 3. No firm details, dates or specifics have been given, but the tease indicates Larian's creative focus is shifting back towards Divinity rather than continuing within the Baldur's Gate universe.
