Baldur’s Gate 3 will not get any more DLCs or sequels
Baldur’s Gate 4 is only a dream
Three usually precedes four. However, in the case of Larian Studios, three is the end of it all. After the immense success of Baldur’s Gate 3, Larian Studios has confirmed that it is leaving the world of Faerûn behind.
During his talk at the Game Developers Conference, the studio’s founder Sven Vincke says that Larian Studios will not work on any DLC, expansion packs, or sequels to last year’s game of the year. Baldur’s Gate 3, as it is now, is the studio’s final word in the Dungeons & Dragons franchise.
@official_gdc breaking news out of GDC2024: @larianstudios Swen Vincke announces no new expansions for baldursgate3, and no baldursgate4. He said they will be moving on to a new project. Watch his statement here.
Larian Studios will now hand over the rights of the franchise back to Wizards of the Coast. A future game set in the same world might eventually come out, but it won’t be with Larian anymore.
After last year’s success, the studio will now focus on a new property. Vincke has not announced if it will be an existing franchise or an entirely new IP.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is the most successful title of 2023. Despite coming from a lesser known studio, the massive turn-based RPG wowed everyone with a wealth of diverging routes, expertly done motion capture and voice acting, and a perpetual state of wonder. It’s no surprise that the game won as the best title of the year.

Ubisoft confirms Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag remake
It’s officially called Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced.
If you ask an Assassin’s Creed fan what their favorite game of the series is, Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag will likely be one of the top contenders. Because of its reputation, gamers are constantly asking for a remake of the popular pirate simulator. Now, the dream is finally here. Ubisoft has confirmed that a remake, called Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced, is coming.
Released in 2013, Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag saw the journey of Edward Kenway, a vagabond pirate haplessly thrust into life as part of the Assassin Brotherhood against his will. The critically acclaimed game was something that all gamers have been clamoring for since Sid Meier’s Pirates: a true pirate simulator. It was no surprise that the game got as popular as it did.
Today, through an official roadmap shared by the company, Ubisoft has confirmed that Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced is real, and it might launch later this year. The company also released the first concept art for the remake.
Currently, there’s no official word as to how Ubisoft is remaking the game. At the very least, we can expect significant graphical upgrades to put it up to par with the modern games. We wouldn’t be opposed to more stories and missions too.
Now, though the Black Flag remake is already a big deal, the same roadmap also emphasizes that Codename Hexe, the next mainline title, is still coming. Ubisoft hasn’t confirmed the actual timeline yet, but the game will depict “a pivotal moment in history.” With post-launch development for the ongoing Shadows winding down, efforts to launch Codename Hexe should be ramping up soon.

PlayStation will stop releasing its games on PC
A new reports suggests that Sony is going back to console exclusives.
PC-only gamers have been eating well for the past few years. The formerly exclusive PlayStation library opened its gates and released worthy ports for PC. Unfortunately, Sony is putting an end to this short-lived era of openness to PC gamers. According to a new report, the company is once again making first-party PlayStation games exclusive to the console.
During the pandemic, Sony started releasing its critically acclaimed first-party games on PC. The new wave saw gamers get the ability to play titles such as Horizon Zero Dawn, The Last of Us, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and God of War on another platform. Even now, players are still eagerly awaiting the PC launch of Death Stranding 2, due out later this year.
However, as reported by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, Sony has just had a change of heart and will no longer release any more games on the PC, beyond those already confirmed for future launches.
This will mean that last year’s Ghost of Yotei and the upcoming Saros will remain PlayStation exclusives for the foreseeable future.
It’s a big change to Sony’s direction. However, it’s not without its precedents. For one, Microsoft has started to compete in the non-exclusive market. The company is already set to launch Fable and Forza Horizon 6 on other platforms, including PC and PlayStation, concurrently with the Xbox launch. To compare, PlayStation still waits a long time before launching exclusive games on PC.
Also, now that rumors have begun to speak of a fabled PlayStation 6, Sony might want to keep things close to its chest for now. After all, selling the console might be its top priority for now.

An all-in-one device is a pipe dream for many. Imagine a device that can turn into a tablet, a laptop, a phone, and a console with the flip of a switch. As showcased during MWC 2026, Lenovo wants you to stop imagining. A new concept called the Legion Go Fold is an all-around device you can take with you on travels.
On account of the lineup it’s associated with, the Legion Go Fold is, first and foremost, a handheld gaming console. Normally, it’s a sizable 7.7-inch screen you can attach the Legion Go’s recognizable controllers to.
However, as the “Fold” in its name is hinting, the screen can be unfolded into a much larger screen. At its quirkiest, the concept looks like a vertical tablet with controllers attached to either side. Lenovo says that this is best used in split-screen mode where you can split the display between a game and other media such as a walkthrough video.
Alternatively, you can just rotate the screen horizontally and attach the controllers to play with the maxed out 11.6-inch display.
Finally, the Legion Go Fold can be used as a laptop via the detached screen and an included wireless keyboard. Like the other devices in the Legion Go lineup, the right controller can be used as a makeshift mouse.
Because it’s a concept, the Legion Go Fold isn’t close to being released yet. However, it’s a good evolution of what the Legion Go can already do. As we said in previous reviews, the lineup can technically be a work laptop in a pinch. This just makes it easier.
