'Of course' Baldur’s Gate 4 is going to happen, Wizards of the Coast boss says, but that’s not the D&D game Star Wars Jedi and God of War 3’s director is working on

What Wizards of the Coast Actually Said About Baldur’s Gate 4

The confirmation came during what I can only assume was a moment of brutal honesty from a Wizards executive who probably got tired of dodging the same question for the millionth time. “Of course” Baldur’s Gate 4 is happening – those were essentially the words that sent the gaming community into a predictable frenzy.

Now, I’m not saying this revelation is earth-shattering news. Anyone who’s watched Baldur’s Gate 3 dominate the gaming landscape, sweep awards ceremonies, and basically become the gold standard for modern RPGs could see this coming from a mile away. It’s like announcing that water is wet or that microtransactions are annoying – some things are just painfully obvious.

The real kicker here is that Wizards isn’t exactly rushing to give us all the juicy details. They’ve confirmed the inevitable but left us hanging on the important stuff like release dates, developer details, or whether we’ll get to romance even more questionable characters than we did in the third installment.

The Other D&D Game Everyone’s Talking About

Here’s where things get really spicy. While everyone’s busy hyperventilating about Baldur’s Gate 4, there’s another D&D project in development that’s flying somewhat under the radar. And get this – it’s being helmed by someone with some seriously impressive credentials.

We’re talking about a director who’s worked on God of War 3 and Star Wars Jedi games. You know, someone who actually knows how to craft epic adventures that don’t make you want to throw your controller through a window. This mysterious D&D project has nothing to do with the Baldur’s Gate franchise, which means we’re potentially looking at a completely fresh take on the beloved tabletop universe.

Why This Matters More Than You Think

Look, I get it. Everyone’s excited about Baldur’s Gate 4, and rightfully so. But having multiple high-quality D&D games in development simultaneously? That’s the kind of embarrassment of riches that would make any fantasy RPG fan weak in the knees.

The gaming industry has a nasty habit of putting all their eggs in one basket, especially when it comes to beloved franchises. But Wizards of the Coast seems to be taking a different approach here, and honestly, it’s about time. The D&D universe is massive, rich with lore, and has enough content to support multiple game series without them stepping on each other’s toes.

What We Can Expect Moving Forward

The smart money says we’re looking at a gaming landscape where D&D properties are finally getting the respect and investment they deserve. Baldur’s Gate 4 will likely continue the formula that made its predecessor such a runaway success, while this other mystery project could explore entirely different aspects of the D&D multiverse.

And let’s be real here – competition breeds excellence. Having multiple studios working on D&D games means each team will be pushing themselves to create something truly special. Nobody wants to be the studio that dropped the ball on a D&D project, especially not when there are other games in the same universe showing them up.

The bottom line? We’re entering what might be a golden age for D&D gaming, and frankly, it’s about damn time. Now if only they could give us some actual release dates to look forward to.
