Is a DLC for Baldur’s Gate 3 in the works?

In an interview with PC Gamer, Larian Studios CEO and founder Swen Vickne confirmed that the team is not currently working on a DLC expansion.

However, that doesn’t mean the team is completely opposed to the idea. It’s just that it’s not going to happen anytime soon. As specified in an interview with IGN at Gamescom 2023, the developers “want to do more” with the game, but not right away.

In the near future, the priority is to “fix things for now” before developers take a collective “vacation” after years of hard work. Upon their return, Larian Studios will then determine the next course of action. Whether it’s a full sequel, a major expansion, or something in between. It is, however, important to note the complexities of adding additional content to the current game.

According to Vickne, increasing Baldur’s Gate 3‘s level cap from 12 to the DnD standard of 20 would present a set of design challenges, “which would make it much more than an expansion in terms of development.”
