We'll Hear More About Baldur's Gate's Future 'in Pretty Short Order,' Hasbro SVP of Games Says

Baldur's Gate 3, a game that continues to captivate players months after its release, has left many wondering about the future of the franchise. With Larian Studios stepping away from the series, Hasbro now holds the reins. However, according to Dan Ayoub, SVP of digital games at Hasbro, news regarding the franchise's future is on the horizon.

Speaking at the Game Developers Conference, Ayoub revealed that Hasbro has significant interest in the Baldur's Gate series and is actively developing plans. He hinted at upcoming announcements, stating that they will soon have "some stuff to talk about."

While specifics remain undisclosed, Ayoub acknowledged the desire for a Baldur's Gate 4, although he emphasized a measured approach to development, suggesting it's a project that will take considerable time. He highlighted the immense pressure to deliver a high-quality sequel, a pressure that even influences other Dungeons & Dragons-related projects under Hasbro's umbrella.

Ayoub expressed confidence in tackling this challenge, believing that high expectations push creative boundaries and inspire innovative ideas. He anticipates continued growth and improvement in the quality of future projects.

This interview with Ayoub also touched on other topics, including Magic: The Gathering, Saber Interactive collaborations, and Hasbro's broader game strategy. A complete interview will be available next week.
