The impact Baldur’s Gate 3 has had since its release in August of last year can’t be understated. Nominated for dozens of awards, it didn’t only snag Game of the Year at the BAFTAs, but also at the Golden Joystick Awards, The Game Awards, the D.I.C.E. Awards, and the Game Developers Choice Awards.
Despite the game’s incredible success, Larian Studios has announced that it will be working on a new project next rather than Baldur’s Gate 4.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is available to play on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
