It's a shame we're not getting more Baldur's Gate from Larian, but it's completely understandable. All the people they worked with and trusted at WOTC have probably been laid off and Hasbro is probably desperate to replicate BG3's success. There's no way they'd be given the same creative freedom they had when they were originally working on BG3. Looking forward to whatever they put out next.

Hasbro is probably desperate to replicate BG3's success. There's no way they'd be given the same creative freedom they had when they were originally working on BG3.

Which is why they (Hasbro) will fail. They will minimize fun and creativity to maximum profits and it will only work out financially because people will pre-order expecting another BG3 when they're really getting something more akin to Duke Nukem Forever.
