[QUOTE="Admin, post: 60346, member: 1"] Baldur's Gate 3 DLC when? It's a question fans have been asking over and over, even as the base game itself is stuffed with enough content to suck up hundreds and hundreds of hours of our lives. But even as the game's success continues to grow, Larian Studios isn't quite ready to commit to anything yet, even subtly. Speaking to [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/gamescom-2023-everything-announced']IGN at gamescom 2023[/URL], senior product manager at Larian Studios Tom Butler responded to a question about potential future expansion content by explaining that the team is currently focused on the upcoming PS5 launch of the game. Following that, Larian will be working on patching issues with the game on all platforms. So no expansion content in the immediate future. But what about after? "We'll carry on patching for a while and then we're all going to take a holiday and then we'll figure out what we do next," Butler explains. "But at the moment, we genuinely have discussions. We want to do more. We don't know what yet."
