Douse shared a rather cryptic reply to a PC Gamer story about the above stat, calling the news “a pleasant surprise,” which I can only imagine would be the reaction from any publisher whose video game has such a long tail. However, the thing raising some eyebrows is him adding, “And we’re not quite done yet.”

See for yourself:

Larian CEO Swen Vincke said in no uncertain terms back in March thatthe studio was done with Baldur’s Gate 3 and that there wouldn’t be any DLC, however Douse followed up by clarifying, “we’ll continue to update BG3, we still have things lined up.” We’ve seen a number of pretty hefty patches since then, including the gargantuanPatch 7that added full mod support, new evil endings, and even harder Honour Mode fights, andwe know crossplay and a photo mode are still on the way, but Larian’s wording at the time really made it sound like Patch 7 was Baldur’s Gate 3’s final chapter.

That still very well may be the case, but this new tweet from Douse is certainly throwing that just a little bit into question.
