Yesterday, Larian Studios updated its official website with the above image, teasing a new game. At first glance, it seemed like the team was teasing the third part in the Divinity: Original Sin series, however it appears that the team is about to announced Baldur’s Gate 3.
Yeap, you read that right; Baldur’s Gate 3 is most likely under development and the source code of Larian’s website has basically spoiled that surprise. According to reports, Larian’s website had a metadata for Baldur’s Gate 3.

Not only that, but Kotaku’s Jason Schreier claimed that a lot of people are privately confirming to him secondhand/obliquely that this is for real, and that Baldur’s Gate 3 will be indeed announced shortly.
My guess is that Larian Studios will officially reveal Baldur’s Gate 3 at E3 2019 (perhaps during the PC Gaming Show?).
Stay tuned for more!

This pleases me greatly. Larian is class.
I should replay Divinity 2 OS again.
Try playing the original Divinity games if you haven’t so already.
Played most of them but only played OS2 one time, had to do it again in evil path or something 😀
Good god. Something to genuinely be intrigued by and look forward to. Such a rarity these days in this hobby.
It really is.
Gotta keep faith though. Sooner or later the cream rises and the idiots get fired.
Going to be honest, while this is amazing news, where the hell is the story going to take off and take place? The first two BG games and into the BG2 expansion TOB concludes the story completely.
Unless they retcon the ending of TOB, they will have to start off completely new or make one of the ending Canon which is honestly a poor choice for a story.
I’ve been waiting so long for a BGIII but this worries me greatly.
Im not too worried. With a franchise like this, there are bound to be tons of people with alternative ideas and plotlines that have been gathering dust that are/were written to fit into the canon of the existing games.
Things like Durlag’s Tower. You can imagine stories like that being fleshed out into a full size game.
“Bioware’s garbage”
The greatest RPG and it’s sequel see “garbage” to you. You’re an asshat of ungodly proportion of you even remotely think that of those two games.
That’s just false. In spite of its bland writing Baldur’s Gate very much allows for roleplay.
“pseudo RPGs”
Thanks for proving what I said.
That might be the dumbest thing you’ve ever said in your entire life! And I used the word “might” because I don’t really know you. Every single word that comes after from you in this conversation will be disregarded. I mean, you can’t be taken seriously anymore if you think Baldur’s Gate is a pseudo-RPG. :))
he’s baiting af, relax.
i never played baldur’s gate, i played never winter nights though and all i can say is i doubts its better than anything the fallout devs made.
Are you retarded?
i hope they’re not turning it into a turn based game even though i’m sure i’ll love whatever they make.
Awesome! m/ 🙂 m/ let’s go!
If Beamdog had anything to do with the project you can expect shoddy writing and plenty of SJW stuff.
It was never Bioware’s franchise, it belongs to Wizards of the Coast.
the question is how sjw will it be?
I hope they hired a writer cause for all that is great about Divinity games, the writing certainly is not one of them.
if they hired one it would be some sjw vapid c3nt
who cares larian is sjws so they will mess this one up.
Latest games from Bioware are garbage but their old games are good
Now if only they can announce that they have talent like Chris Avellone on board and Ill be completely hyped.
Larian is a great studio but Div 1 & 2 had really forgettable stories and none of them stood out.
If they can incorporate good competent narrative and story in the game. Then GOTY contender for sure.
i hope baldur’s gate will not turn pure turn-based…
Doubtful. Pause based gaming was a huge hit and became one of the things BG was known for.
Turn based just wouldn’t look right.
Outstanding!
