What Baldur's Gate 3 achieved last summer is something that is not up to everyone's level. Not only did the game manage to position itself as one of the best of the year, but today it is already considered as one of the great games in the history of the industry. Furthermore, it achieved this without having a stratospheric budget (100 million dollars), unlike other great titles that we already have among us or that are yet to come, such as GTA 6.
In a recent interview conducted by gamepressure, the director of Baldur's Gate 3Sven Vincke, has shared his concerns about how the upcoming releases of GTA 6 and The Witcher 4 they could eclipse the work done on their acclaimed RPG. During an interview, Vincke expressed his admiration for the industry's big projects, but also made clear his fear that these high-budget titles downplay the achievements of Baldur's Gate 3.
Vincke fears that GTA 6 and The Witcher 4 will dwarf Baldur's Gate 3
“You shouldn't expect someone who has an indie budget to make a big, cinematic, expansive AAA RPG,” Vincke said. «But you can rest assured. You have The Witcher 4 on the way. I'm sure it will be fantastic. You're going to see a lot of other games that are going to be huge, like GTA 6. It's also going to be huge and expensive. They can dwarf what we've been doing.»
These words reflect the reality of many developers who, despite creating exceptional games, face pressure and competition from titles with significantly larger budgets. However, Baldur's Gate 3 It is a clear example that there are times when it is not necessary to have large budgets to be able to offer a practically perfect product. However, it is true that this helps to achieve that goal.

Not surprisingly, Vincke recognizes the inevitable impact of industry giants. The Witcher 4developed by CD Projekt Red, and GTA 6from Rockstar Games, are two of the most anticipated titles and with the highest expectations for the immediate future within the industry, and the result that both have managed to offer both with Cyberpunk 2077, as well as with GTA V or Red Dead Redemption 2 , offer more than enough reasons to consider their upcoming projects as two of the most important experiences that we will see soon.
Finally, and although Vincke's fears are understandable, the future of Baldur's Gate 3 remains promising thanks to the strong support of his fan base. It is true that the company has confirmed that they will not release any type of DLC for Baldur's Gate 3, although with the variety of options it offers at the playable level, it may not be necessary either.
