Baldur's Gate 2's co-lead designer was asked to make Baldur's Gate 4 after Larian declined: 'Having to compete against Baldur's Gate 3? That would be insanity'

      There’s a reason nobody with other options is willing to work for Wizbros

    I wonder if Larian would be willing to license out the Divinity engine and associated tools. If not, BG4 is going to have to be remade from the ground up.

    Who else is even making CRPGs these days? Owlcat? They worked for Hasbro’s direct competition in Pathfinder and are now busy making infinite money from 40k properties.

      Honestly not sure if another studio could benefit as much from the Divinity engine.

        Just increase the size of the studio by 25000% and we have the next hit on our hands, I assure you.
