Baldur's Gate 3 could have been ported to Nintendo Switch 2, but something got in the way.
This comes directly from Larian CEO Swen Vincke, speaking today in a Reddit AMA about Divinity. Here, he was asked if fans can expect Baldur's Gate 3 to come to Switch 2, but Vincke says it won't happen, and the decision wasn't Larian's to make.
During the AMA, the Larian team was asked if Baldur's Gate 3 on Switch 2 would be feasible.
"We would have loved to but it's wasn't our decision to make [sic]," says Vincke. He did not elaborate on whose decision it was, if not Larian's.
Baldur's Gate 3 was self-published by Larian, but the IP belongs to Wizards of the Coast, so anything Baldur's Gate-related has to be done with its approval.
Industry insider NateTheHate might be able to shed some light on this. On ResetEra, he says, "From what I was told last year... it's a complicated situation and involved [Larian's] relationship with WotC." Some had already assumed this, given that many had also assumed this was the reason why Larian dropped its plans to make a Baldur's Gate 3 expansion (something Larian denies).
