Don’t count on Baldur’s Gate 3 coming to Switch 2, as least for now

Baldur's Gate 3 will likely not appear on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, disappointing potential players. Larian Studios, the game's developer, expressed their interest but stated the decision wasn't theirs. This suggests either Wizards of the Coast, the IP owner, or Nintendo is preventing the port. Rumors hint at a possible strained relationship between Larian and Wizards of the Coast. Larian has previously released Divinity: Original Sin 2 on Switch and would consider future Switch 2 games. A different studio might potentially handle a Switch 2 port of Baldur's Gate 3. Larian has declared they are not creating further content or a sequel for Baldur's Gate 3. This indicates a focus on their future projects and a lack of resources for a port. The lack of a port could stem from business decisions between involved parties. Nintendo players hoping for Baldur's Gate 3 on the new console may face disappointment. This situation leaves open the possibility but not the likelihood of a future Switch 2 release.
