Excalibur is the codename for Baldur's Gate 3 studio's next RPG - join us as we speculate wildly on what it could be

Larian Studios.

After whisking us away on an memorable adventure in Faerun in Baldur's Gate 3, Larian announced it would be moving to pastures new for its upcoming projects. With two "very ambitious RPGs" in development, very little else is known about the direction of the new games, but studio CEO and director Swen Vincke recently revealed the next RPG Larian is set to work on officially has a codename - Excalibur. Now, this doesn't exactly reveal much of anything, and even Vincke has said he doesn't know what the hell it is yet. 

Even if there's very little to go on, we absolutely can't help ourselves: we have to speculate with reckless abandon about Excalibur. Just what could Larian's next RPG be? Join us as we roll the dice and put our heads together for some wild speculation about the direction of the next game.

Baldur's Gate 3 lead says Larian "did start pushing around ideas for Baldur's Gate 4, and they didn't excite us".
