The companions of Baldur's Gate 3 have become the new mascots of D&D. Should we be worried about their future now that it's entirely in the hands of Wizards of the Coast?

Larian has confirmed that it won't be making a Baldur's Gate 4, and is done with the series for the foreseeable (even though it did consider doing a sequel). But that doesn't mean it's the end for Shadowheart, Gale, Lae'zel, and the other beloved companions of Baldur's Gate 3. Not by a long shot.

Larian made Baldur's Gate 3, but because it licensed the Dungeons & Dragons setting, all those characters are now owned by Wizards of the Coast. And, already, it's not been shy about using them. As a new version of D&D approaches, BG3's companions have been fully placed in the role of the game's new mascots.
