Planescape: Torment 2 was greenlit by Wizards of the Coast, 'they were really into what we were doing', but it refused to fund the sequel, and nobody else was interested

Baldur's Gate 3 might be the greatest D&D videogame out there, but Planescape: Torment—with its potent mix of exceptional writing and fever-dream setting—is a close second. And we almost got a sequel, Planescape: Unraveled, but nobody had the courage to fund it.

Unsurprisingly, Beamdog—which has become something of a custodian for BioWare and Black Isle's classic RPGs—was involved. Beamdog boss Trent Oster, along with former BioWare scribe David Gaider, pitched his vision of a sequel to Wizards of the Coast, and initially it went well.
