"We're talking about at least half a decade of horror": former Exodus lead explains why he wasn't keen on doing a Baldur's Gate 4 despite Hasbro offering the chance

Hasbro has been seeking a developer to create Baldur's Gate 4 following Larian's exit from the project. A former Exodus lead and Baldur's Gate 2 co-lead designer recently turned down the offer, describing the prospect of following Baldur's Gate 3 as "insanity" and "half a decade of horror." Coverage from GameSpot, IGN, and PC Gamer emphasizes that developers are reluctant to take on the project due to the immense pressure of following Larian's footsteps.

Eurogamer and CGMagazine report that the Baldur's Gate 2 co-lead believes he would fail in the role, though he suggested others who might be capable. Future developments depend on whether Hasbro can find a studio willing to accept the project despite warnings that a new entry would struggle to compete with the previous title's legacy.
