Since Larian has confirmed that it is done with the license, some fans have been concerned about the future of the series, but there is an even better choice to work on an expansion to or a potential that could easily outshine Larian. Obsidian has defined itself as the premiere pinch hitter for RPG development. The company’s follow-ups to BioWare’s and surpassed the originals, just as Obsidian did with , a superior game to Bethesda’s by most metrics.
Larian Donates Copy of Baldur's Gate 3 to Library
05.04.2024 - 23:57 / gamerant.com / Sarah Fields
Baldur's Gate 3 fans are showering Larian Studios with praise following its kind donation of a copy of the game to a local library. The studio surprised a librarian with its generosity, and now gamers who may not have had a chance to play Baldur's Gate 3 will be able to borrow it.
While it may come as a surprise to some, libraries lend a lot more than physical books these days. Libraries also often have ebooks, CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays, as well as video games and manga to lend to their patrons. Some even go further, lending out things like tools to those who need them. However, it can be complicated for libraries to get everything they want, and that was what spurred one librarian to reach out to Larian Studios directly with a request.
Posting on Reddit, user and librarian TeenyGremlin shared their story of wanting to procure a copy ofthe award-winning RPGfor the library they work at. While their first impulse was to buy it, there was a problem: as the library is a tax-funded organization, they're not allowed to purchase anything that's taxed, as it would be «taxing tax,» in their words. Buying the game, even directly from Larian, was proving to be a problem in that regard, so TeenyGremlin sent a message to the studio asking if there was a way that they could possibly purchase it sans tax, via invoice billing or another method. However, months passed and they didn't hear anything back.
TeenyGremlin had more or less given up on the idea, assuming that their request had essentially been shut down, as it could be a lot of trouble for a studio to go through to just sell one or two copies to a library. However, three months after their initial query, a representative from Larian Studios reached out and offered to simply donate a copy of Baldur's Gate 3 to the library, for no cost. TeenyGremlin has been shocked by the gesture, and Baldur's Gate 3 fans in the comments are thrilled, expressing how much they appreciate Larian Studios as a whole.
While there are plenty of gaming studios that have earned fans' respect, Larian Studios continues to impress the fanbase at large. In addition to producing an extremely content-rich and enjoyable game with no microtransactions of any kind, the studio has gone out of its way to support fellow developers. With the current trend of mass layoffs in the gaming industry, the company has recommended laid off developers apply to Larian Studios, and the game's director has gone so far as to blame the layoffs on corporate greed, effectively shaming the industry as a whole. While Baldur's Gate 4 isn't in the cards for the studio, whatever game it develops next will surely have an eager audience waiting for it.

Larian have two new games in the works, "fueled by the very same fire" as Baldur's Gate 3
Larian aren’t just not making Baldur’s Gate 4 – they’re treating Baldur’s Gate 3’s success as an opportunity to develop their own intellectual properties, with two new games in the works. These games will build on the “sensibilities” of Baldur’s Gate 3 in being “immersive experiences shaped by your choices”, but by the sounds of things, they won’t be adaptations of anybody else's narrative or setting. Divinity: Original Sin 3? It’s the obvious call, but come now, free your mind. How about a kart racing game, Larian, or a banging old school mascot platformer? When are you going to make a platform game, Larian?
