“I told you from the beginning, we are a company full of great ideas,” Vink said. “We are not a company that specifically creates DLCS [or] Extension. We actually tried a few times and failed every time. It’s not worth it. Life is too short and our ambitions are lofty, but like Gustav (the dog’s name during the development of Baldur’s Gate 3), he will always have a warm place in our hearts . ”
He continued, “We’ll always be proud of it, but we’re not going to keep doing it. We’re not going to make the new expansion that everyone expects us to do. We’re not going to make Baldur’s Gate 4, everyone We’re all expected to do this. We’re going to move on. We’re going to get rid of DnD and we’re going to start creating new things.”
