Hasbro Prepares to Reveal Plans for Baldur's Gate Franchise
Following Larian Studios' departure, Hasbro is taking a cautious approach to determine the future of the beloved Dungeons & Dragons video game series.
- Hasbro has confirmed an imminent announcement regarding the future of the Baldur's Gate franchise, though specific details remain under wraps.
- Larian Studios, the developer of Baldur's Gate 3, has stepped away from the series to focus on original intellectual properties.
- Hasbro's SVP of Digital Games, Dan Ayoub, emphasized a measured approach to continuing the franchise, citing significant developer interest but creative challenges in following up Baldur's Gate 3.
- Speculation about the announcement includes possibilities beyond a direct sequel, such as side projects or other Dungeons & Dragons-related games.
- This development aligns with Hasbro's broader strategy to expand its portfolio of Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering video games.
