Hot off the success of Baldur's Gate 3--which has already been called one of the greatest role-playing games of all time--it would make sense for developer Larian Studios to gear up for a sequel. Plenty of people are surely clamoring for Baldur's Gate 4, but the studio has something else in mind for its next game--one with no Dungeons & Dragons connection.

Speaking to GameSpot at GDC, Larian CEO Swen Vincke said that, when considering the company's next moves, he did initially want to move ahead with more Baldur's Gate. After proceeding with this plan for a bit, however, Larian decided it would be antithetical to the studio's identity.

"That's not what we were made for," Vincke said. "That's literally the opposite of what Larian is about. We want to do big, new things. We don't want to rehash the thing that we've done already."
