Wizards of the Coast owner Hasbro, which says Larian’s “mega hit” RPG, having driven around $90 million in revenue in the last year, is a good sign for more video games to come from the D&D license.
I don’t know them, but this seems like they have understood that D&D is beneficial to their purse.
Hasbro wants more games but that doesn’t say Larian wants or has been contracted for more. It’d be dumb for Larian to at least not make an expansion. Though I do understand expanding the level cap is super difficult and a LOT of spells will need to be limited in scope.
In short, at 7th to 9th level spells shit get stupid really fast.
In any case, the sweet spot of the 5th edition ruleset(which Larian vastly improved upon) is levels 5 to 10. Under that and you’re too squishy, over that and you start getting into the plane shifting and just outright death spells.

Well hopefully it means more awesome Larian games though.
Divinity was amazing, literally downloading baldurs gate to play with the wife for valentines as we speak, so I love them.
But it probably won’t, it probably just means shitty magic crossovers and other horrible nonsense.
God i hope Larian never touches dnd again, they can do way better.
I doubt Larian will return to D&D for the next game.

Why is level cap hard to expand?

Give them Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and the internet will go berserk
