Baldur’s Gate 3 Director Explains Why DLC Was Never Released
*Baldur’s Gate 3* director Swen Vincke has shared why the hit RPG never received any DLC, despite its massive success and ongoing community interest. Speaking with *GameSpot*, Vincke explained that while Larian Studios considered releasing DLC, the team ultimately chose not to pursue it because they weren’t passionate about the idea.
Vincke admitted that developing DLC “could have generated a lot of money,” but emphasized that the decision was based on the team’s well-being and creative drive. “You need a happy developer for a happy player,” he said, adding that the new projects Larian is working on are what truly excite the team.
Despite some fan disappointment, Larian’s stance reflects its commitment to developer satisfaction and long-term quality. The studio, known for avoiding industry crunch where possible, is now focused on an unannounced but “crazy ambitious” new game.
Patch 8 recently marked the final major update for *Baldur’s Gate 3*, closing a chapter for the acclaimed title as Larian looks toward the future.
