The developers shocked the video game world when they announced plans to make a brand new game outside of the Dungeons & Dragons Universe, rather than following Baldur's Gate 3 with DLC or sequels. Vincke said in a tweet that it is difficult to achieve this vision now.
“It's crazy to think it's been two years,” he said. “It's really life-changing. It might be worth writing about a day. But I can ruin the biggest gain. BG3 is what enables us to do the next crazy thing. Anyone can guess, but I can assure you that we're working hard to make sure you're really having a lot of fun. Like the real benefit – load – do this. While you can't wait to serve later. However, you need a certain amount of time.
Crazy thinking it's been two years. It is indeed changing lives. It's worth writing about one day. But I can destroy the biggest gain. BG3 allows us to do the next crazy thing. Anyone's guess how it will be eliminated, but I can assure you that we are working hard… https://t.co/bgbyzosxgz
