Baldur’s Gate 3 made quite an impact in the gaming industry upon its release, enjoying critical and commercial success across different platforms. Many have wondered if Larian Studios is considering bringing this hit RPG title to the Nintendo Switch. Let’s delve into the details to see if such plans are underway.
Will Baldur’s Gate be available on Nintendo Switch?
As of now, Baldur’s Gate 3 is not on Nintendo Switch, and there are no signs that Larian Studios intends to bring it over in the foreseeable future. The cancellation of planned DLC for the game indicates the studio’s desire to explore new projects beyond the Baldur’s Gate franchise, potentially leaving room for another developer to continue the series in the future.
In an interview with IGN, Swen Vincke, the game’s director, mentioned, “We’re going to shift around and… start doing these other things…that we planned on doing before we started on BG3.” These statements suggest a definitive closure on Baldur’s Gate 3, indicating a transition to new projects and passing the legacy on to another studio.
Given Larian Studios’ lack of interest in further Baldur’s Gate 3 content, chances are slim for a potential port to the Nintendo Switch. Additionally, the console’s older hardware may struggle to run the game efficiently without compromising image quality or performance. With a successor likely on the horizon, a future port of Baldur’s Gate 3 might target the next console release.
While Baldur’s Gate 3 remains unavailable on the Nintendo Switch, there are several CRPG options on the console to enjoy. For those eager to experience Baldur’s Gate 3, it is still accessible on other platforms like PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
