We'll Hear More About Baldur's Gate's Future 'in Pretty Short Order,' Hasbro SVP of Games Says

Author:Kristen Update:Mar 21,2025

Baldur's Gate 3, despite being over a year old, continues to captivate players with its rich gameplay and endless replayability. However, with Larian Studios moving on to other projects, the future of the Baldur's Gate franchise rests with Hasbro. Fortunately, fans won't have to wait long for an update.

In a recent interview with IGN at the Game Developers Conference, Dan Ayoub, Hasbro's SVP of digital games, revealed that the company has significant interest in the Baldur's Gate franchise and is actively developing plans for its future. He hinted at upcoming announcements, stating, "in pretty short order, we're going to have some stuff to talk about around that."

While Ayoub remained tight-lipped about specifics – whether this involves a full-fledged Baldur's Gate 4 or a different approach – he confirmed Hasbro's long-term ambition to develop a Baldur's Gate 4, acknowledging that such an undertaking would require considerable time and effort. He emphasized a measured approach, stating, "We're not in a hurry... We're going to take a very measured approach."

Ayoub also acknowledged the immense pressure to deliver a high-quality successor, a pressure that extends to other Dungeons & Dragons-related projects under Hasbro's umbrella. He expressed confidence in the team's ability to meet the challenge, stating, "I think anything that forces us to raise our creative bar... and I think we've actually seen the team push some really interesting ideas."

The full interview with Ayoub, covering topics including Magic: The Gathering, Saber Interactive partnerships, and Hasbro's broader game strategy, will be available next week.
