Instead, the Belgian indie developer and publisher also known for its Divinity RPG series wants to work on something new.

“We are a company of big ideas. We are not a company that’s made to create DLCs or expansions,” he said. “We tried that actually, a few times. It ******* every single time. It’s not our thing. Life is too short. Our ambitions are very large.

“Baldur’s Gate will always have a warm spot in our heart. We’ll forever be proud of it but we’re not going to continue in it. We’re not going to make new expansions which everybody is expecting. We’re not going to make Baldur’s Gate 4 which everybody is expecting us to do.

“We’re going to move on. We’re going to move away from D&D and we’re going to start making a new thing.”

On Wednesday, Larian added to a hatful of high-profile awards its won for Baldur’s Gate 3 by taking home four prizes at the GDC Awards, including Game of the Year.
