Unpopular opinion probably, but creators should be allowed to stop creating more stories inside a particular world. It's like the issue we had with TV shows just getting the chewing gum treatment. Some worlds should have an end. Though maybe there can be spin-offs in this case, stories unrelated to the current cast in any way.

- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

They haven't said they intend to stop making D&D games. And every D&D crpg in the last 20-odd years (since Torment, I think) has been set in the Forgotten Realms. So it seems highly likely that future games will be loosely related to BG, just without that specific title.
I would love to see them bring back some of the weird old settings, like Dark Sun, Spelljammer, or even Dragonlance. But I'm not holding my breath.

The people of Wales have been deep in nostalgia for too long!
Oh lol I wrote wales instead of whales lmao
I was really hoping for some standalone campaigns in the same engine though
Same, but Hasbro is shit. I don’t blame Larian for running.
If Larian did a collab with Paizo on a Starfinder series I could die happy.
That would be so amazing.
I will enjoy playing their next game in 2030 from my prison cell 
Please do 40k please do 40k
Hasbro is gonna sell to some heartless VC and D&D will be dead as we know it as they try to bleed every last dollar from whoever stays. Sad times ahead. Capitalism strikes again destroying everything we love.
Have you heard of D&D Beyond? It's already a subscription service, I'm not sure D&D is in the best hands as it is.
Dnd beyond as it is now is still very usable without a subscription. But yeah, this will probably change with the next edition.
It is really annoying. Dnd beyond is such a great product, but it will very likely be ruined by the business model soon.
Unfathomably based
The time is ripe for an original property, but with a 8 be year development cycle who knows
I would have done the same. Hasbro is poison to anyone that works with them and they would fire everyone at Larian for a penny.
Even if everything went well with Hasbro, Larian is big enough now that they dont need to tempt fate twice.
