In late July 2026 Owlcat Games co‑founder Alexander Mishulin said the studio would consider taking on Baldur’s Gate 4, calling it a “great challenge” and stressing that any Owlcat version would bear its own design DNA. By early August, Larian Studios formally announced it would not develop any further Baldur’s Gate titles, ending its involvement with the Dungeons & Dragons‑based CRPG series. Rights‑holder Hasbro began searching for a new developer, with industry observers and Hasbro itself pointing to Owlcat as the most likely candidate.

Mishulin reiterated his openness to the opportunity while warning that attempting to replicate Baldur’s Gate III’s formula would be a “bound to fail” scenario. No formal agreement has been reached, and discussions continue about how a new studio could give the sequel its own identity.

Meanwhile, fan‑made mods such as the “True Third‑Person Camera” keep the community engaged, demonstrating ongoing interest in the franchise despite the uncertainty surrounding its next official installment.
