News Summary

  • Owlcat co-founder says it would be a 'great honour' if they were to take on BG4.
  • Archetype Entertainment were offered such a chance according to former studio head James Ohlen.
  • Owlcat have reportedly beefed up their staff to around 600 people as they tackle two games.
  • One is The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, the sci-fi RPG I alluded to in the intro, and the other is Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy.
  • Unless one or both of them are dropped, I can't see Owlcat having the bandwidth to release a BG4 that can step out of BG3's massive shadow any time soon.
Im not saying youve got to be making a vaguely Mass Effecty RPG starting with Ex to be considered as a successor to Larian on the Baldurs Gate series, but it certainly doesnt seem to hurt.
