Larian Studios has officially addressed speculation regarding its future involvement with the Baldur's Gate 3 franchise. Following the announcement of a new Baldur's Gate 3 comic book from Dark Horse Comics, the developer issued a statement on July 25, 2026, clarifying that it is not working on any new projects set in the Forgotten Realms.

The studio, known for the 2023 hit Baldur's Gate 3, took to social media to quell rumors of a secret project. In a post featuring founder Swen Vincke in medieval armor, the studio stated: "Maximum hijinks are happening right now, but we're not involved in any BG3 related projects."

Quick Facts

  • Larian Studios is not involved in the upcoming Dark Horse Baldur's Gate 3 comic.
  • The developer has confirmed it is currently prioritizing the Divinity series for its next project.
  • Wizards of the Coast, which owns the Dungeons & Dragons IP, has acknowledged that a potential Baldur's Gate 4 could happen eventually, but not under Larian's direction.

Shifting Focus Toward Divinity

Larian’s statement marks a continued effort to manage expectations regarding its post-Baldur's Gate 3 output. The studio has remained consistent in its messaging that it has finished working on the title in any substantial capacity. Instead, the team is pivoting its resources toward the Divinity series.

The timing appears strategic, as the last entry, Divinity: Original Sin 2, approaches its tenth anniversary in 2027. Larian noted in its statement that it plans to share more information regarding its Divinity-related plans as soon as the team is free from its current commitments.

The Future of the Baldur's Gate IP

While the future of the Baldur's Gate series remains a subject of interest, Hasbro—the owner of the Dungeons & Dragons IP—has not signaled that a fourth entry is a current priority. John Hight, president of Wizards of the Coast, has previously stated that a sequel will happen "eventually," though it will be developed by a studio other than Larian. For now, the franchise remains in the hands of the IP holder, while Larian moves on to its own internal projects.
