A Baldur’s Gate 3 DLC is not entirely impossible
While Baldur’s Gate 3 has been enjoying an incredible run on PC, PlayStation users got a taste of the brilliant RPG, when it launched on Sony’s console on September 6. Since then, it has gone on to become one of the top-rated games on the platform, and there are even rumors that the console version might support mods in the future. Hence, we cannot blame fans for their demands of a possible DLC or an expansion.
Swen Vincke, the founder and CEO of Larian Studios as well as the director of Baldur’s Gate 3 addressed questions about a probable DLC in an interview on the official YouTube channel of Dungeons & Dragons. Although Swen initially mentioned that Larian was working on developing an entirely new game, apart from pushing constant updates for Baldur’s Gate 3, he soon indicated that the RPG might get a DLC further down the road. Moreover, he also insisted that in order to make a perfect DLC, the team would have to come up with a completely new story, setting, surrounding, and characters, but it wasn’t impossible and shouldn’t be ruled out as of the present.
Interestingly, Tom Butler, Larian Studio’s Senior Project Manager, also dropped hints about a possible DLC when he was being interviewed by IGN at Gamescom 2023. During that interview, Tom reassured fans about their DLC plans and mentioned that although Larian wasn’t developing any expansion to Baldur’s Gate 3 at that moment, they might move on to creating a DLC once the game releases on Xbox.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is now available on the PlayStation 5 and PC, with an Xbox release planned later this year. Hence, from the looks of it, the wait for a DLC might be a bit longer, but you can click here for more gaming content in the meantime.
