Baldur’s Gate 3 director Swen Vincke says he doesn’t plan to talk about the development of the D&D RPG for very much longer, preferring instead to focus on what’s coming next.
Vincke is set to speak at the Digital Dragons conference in Poland later this month, but in response to a tweet about his speech, he said that his talk “will be one of the last times I talk about Baldur’s Gate 3 development.”
“I really want to focus on new things,” he explained on Twitter. “So - if you have any questions left that weren’t answered yet, probably a good time to post them.”
Vincke has been on a fairly extensive victory lap since Baldur’s Gate 3’s release last summer. Taking some of the biggest stages in the industry with speeches atThe Game Awards,BAFTA, andGDC, it does seem likely that he’s said almost everything that was there to be said about his hit RPG and the impact both it and development studio Larian have had on the industry as a whole. If Digital Dragons is set to be one of the last times that he speaks openly on the game, it should be a fitting capstone to more than half a year of talking about the game.
As for those “new things,” Vincke’s keeping us somewhat in the dark. Last month, he said that he’s “crazy hyped about what’s next but it’s going to take a while.” What we do know, however, is thatit won’t be Baldur’s Gate 4, or any kind of expansion to Baldur’s Gate 3.Larian “has two games we want to make”, but it’s taking a step back from D&D in favor of its own IP. I doubt we’ll hear anything about those new projects for some time yet, however.
