In just a few months, Baldur’s Gate 3 has evolved a lot and received new aspects. And one of them could also tease a new feature eagerly awaited by players.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a steamroller which confirmed its popularity during the Game Awards 2023. During the ceremony, the Belgian RPG left with six statuettes, including that of “Game of the Year”. The ultimate reward that the developers accepted with big smiles and tears of joy. On the other hand, there was not the surprise that some players were asking for.
A big tease for the future of Baldur’s Gate 3?
As it stands, Baldur’s Gate 3 is an ultra generous game that stands on its own. Even more so after the deployment of the colossal patch 5 which adds, among other things, new epilogues taking place six months after the initial events of the game. And one of these alternative conclusions could be much more important than it seems. appears. Be careful to explain the potential issues of this outcome, we will be forced to spoil!!
Last warning !!
The epilogue of Baldur’s Gate 3, which has been the subject of discussions for several hours, is the one where the NPC Withers organizes a party. During this, the character speaks with a toast and seems to send a message directly to the players. “Listen to me, heroes, good-for-nothing friends. I have waited a long time to say these words to you. It’s over…for now. Sleep, rest, and enjoy. But be ready, because you may still be needed.”. For some, this is a teaser for a future BG3 DLC.
So when will there be additional content or expansion for Baldur’s Gate 3? Last October, Swen Vincke, founder and CEO of Larian Studios, set the record straight. According to him, work on a DLC has not started, but the idea has not been definitively ruled out. “Honestly, we haven’t started working on an expansion. I know what we want to do, and the team also knows what direction we are going. We’ll see where this takes us. But it wouldn’t be for a very long time.”.
BG3 finally available on Xbox Series X|S
With the words of Swen Vincke, it is therefore complicated to know if one of the new epilogues serves as a teaser for a Baldur’s Gate 3 DLC. In any case, the developers have warned: there will be an extension only at the provided it is relevant. And also that they manage to do something without upsetting the balance of things. Indeed, one of the concerns raised is the possibility that the player is too powerful, which would limit the interest in additional content.
“ Level 12-20 adventures require a different way of approaching things, in terms of antagonists to face, which requires a lot of development to do correctly. This is much more than just an expansion in terms of development effort” Swen Vincke explained. We will see the outcome of all this, but to wait, a nice surprise was revealed at the Game Awards 2023. The Xbox Series X|S version was put online during the ceremony and it is available now with two editions . The basic at €69.99 and the digital deluxe at €79.99.
