Larian Studios head Swen Vincke suggested that the Baldur's Gate 3 developer's next game could be out in 2029, but then again, maybe not. "I don’t know, we’ll release it when it’s ready. They’re big games and it takes time, so don’t hold us to a date."
Their next game will be better, 5e held them back as much as its recognition boosted it’s popularity. WotC will spend the next decade chasing the success of BG3 while these guys rinse and repeat as they always have.
There’s no reason to believe there was anything special about BG3 other than any WotC funding and lore.
Something being popular doesn’t mean it’s good just as something being unpopular doesn’t mean it’s bad. I’m not saying it’s not better than their other titles, but there’s nothing specifically remarkable about the BG IP that made it better than if it were in any other setting.
Ah, that reads a little different than your previous comment. Yeah, I’m looking forward to what they do next, but especially given that this was their best game yet, I definitely don’t agree that they were held back in any way.
