According to this tweet Brian Fargo knows who is developing Baldur's Gate 3 right now. Larian and Beamdog denied already - so who can it be?
More information.
More information.
If you read HiddenX posting again it's a safe bet that Beamdog is not making it.Well, it's a safe bet to say that Beamdog is probably making it?
It’s worth pointing out that Fargo is the founder and CEO of developer inXile Entertainment. The studio is currently working on Wasteland 3 having just released The Bard’s Tale 4, but tends to have two games in various stages of development at any one time. Given their focus on single-player RPGs, it’s possible that Fargo could have been teasing his own studio’s involvement in Baldur’s Gate 3.
We’ve reached out to all three studios for comment. A source from Larian says that they are now personally working on a Divinity project (prompting us to wonder about the possibility of Divinity: Original Sin 3), and not on BG3. That said, the size of the company and the success of its previous projects suggests that Larian has the capacity to be working on two simultaneous projects, one of which could be related to Baldur’s Gate (although this is largely speculative).
Since this article’s first publication, a Beamdog source has also revealed that their studio is not working on the game. We’re yet to hear back from inXile, but we’ll update when we know more.
Like I said in the other thread.I actually think it could be a good move for Obsidian. They've clearly got the skillset, and although they have their own somewhat successful IP, BG3 could be a monster hit for them.
As others have said, I hope it leaves the old saga alone, and is essentially just a new Forgotten Realms game. A new FR game from Obsidian I would most certainly be buying.
So yeah no more Bhallspawn, and a lot has changed since Baldur's Gate lore wise. So a new story-line set in the game setting would make sense. Maybe a family descendant?The third game was to be set in the same world but without Bhallspawn. If I remember you were a prisoner, and it was called The Black Hound.
Still the lore says the Bhallspawn of the Baldur's Gate Saga is officially dead.
They might be collaborating but speculation has it Beamdog lost the IP.Both Obsidian and InXile have secret yet unannounced games in development. Beamdog would have to be in the mix as well. Very interesting.
I think it will use DnD 5 and the “new“ setting.
Does the city of Baldur's Gate still exist there?
…If you read HiddenX posting again it's a safe bet that Beamdog is not making it.
What's Obsidian doing right now?
Yes, just a tenuous link to the previous story would seem fine.
I actually hope it is set in the same era. I think the major changes that have occurred in Forgotten Realms have been a total Charlie Foxtrot. The Spell Plague, and the Sundering, or whatever.
Yes please …no spell plague! I thought they'd undone all that silliness later? We stopped playing in Forgotten Realms at that point…
