Baldur's Gate 3 and the Switch 2 seem like a match made in heaven, but the latest update from Larian Studios director Swen Vincke isn't very promising. While the game never made it to the original Switch, where it would have proven a challenge for the aging hardware, the possibility of a Switch 2 port has been a major topic of discussion among fans.
In an Ask Me Anything on Reddit, Vincke responded to a query about Baldur's Gate 3 on the Switch 2 by confirming that a port isn't happening. Apparently, Larian "would have loved to," but the decision didn't fall to the studio. That being said, the next Divinity game might fare better, as technical director Bert Van Semmertier noted that Larian will "certainly consider" a Switch 2 port for the upcoming title.
Vincke doesn't clarify where the hang-up on a Switch 2 port of Baldur's Gate 3 lies, but if it's out of Larian's hands, the D&D license holders at Hasbro and the Wizards of the Coast seem like the probable culprit. It's hard to imagine why they would pass on the opportunity for a potentially lucrative port, however.
There's always a chance that the situation...
