Larian Studios announced a few weeks ago that it is working on adding official mod support to Baldur's Gate III. After information appeared this week that the developers are ceasing development of DLC and do not plan to develop the project further with new content, players began to assume that they might have abandoned the idea of releasing official support for mods. But that's not true.
As Larian CEO Sven Vincke told PC Gamer, the developers are now working to ensure that their tools for Baldur's Gate III will allow players to change “quite a lot of things.” At the same time, he did not specify what exactly can be officially changed in the game using tools for modders.
According to Vincke, the developers of Baldur's Gate III are quite far from creating modification tools, which is why their development takes so long. He noted that in the Divinity series, such tools were quite “shaky”, so here the developers need more time to create something reliable and useful for players:
We are a game development company, not a tools company. So these tools are actually intended for internal use. But we plan to share them with the audience.
