Read it here. Apparently they want to finally create the long awaited and demanded sequel Baldurs Gate 3.

Now if any of you have played the previous games, you will know what you are in store for. Another LONG trek into an amazing fantasy world. I have never had the pleasure (sarcasm?) of playing them but I did watch my friend play them. He LOVES the franchise.

So, my question to you is.... Are you ready?

Unlikely, unless it is in title only or they are really prepared to do a story about gods on the astral plane, since the saga of the Bhaalspawn was really, really, really, irrevocably finished in Throne of Bhaal—which just condensed the planned third part of the trilogy into a rushed expansion pack. The best thing they can do is continue the story with one/few of the more popular party members or do a gigantic retcon that more or less entirely erases the events of ToB.

Then again, a direct continuation would be pointless, because even if someone has an old save (cough), nobody in their right mind would do a game today with AD&D 2.5 rules, and characters from that ruleset would be nearly impossible to convert to current ones.

I think BG is done and gone.
There are plenty of other Forgotten Realms stories they could tell in the same style.

So, for most purposes, it will be as Baldur's Gate as Dark Alliance 1/2 were—more like a Forgotten Realms: Namedrop 3 with Cameos! =D
At least it may be a proper cRPG, not just a mindless boring hack & slash. I just hope they develop a proper story and not just salivate all over the first two games with dozens of "oooooh, look, we added another reference here, get it, GET IT?!?!?!" moments.

hopefully they use d20 srd and not something homebrew like pillars of eternity or tyranny.
best would be if they can get wizards of the coast to work with them in a 5e dnd game. ^^
