Larian Studios has said goodbye to Baldur\u2019s Gate 3<\/em>. They\u2019ve been clear about this: At a GDC panel in 2024, founder Swen Vincke said, \u201cWe\u2019re not going to make new expansions, which everybody is expecting us to do. We\u2019re not going to make Baldur\u2019s Gate 4,<\/em> which everybody is expecting us to do. We\u2019re going to move on, we\u2019re going to move away from D&D, and we\u2019re going to start making a new thing.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There\u2019s a world in which that was the end of new Baldur\u2019s Gate 3<\/em> content, full stop. That\u2019s not the world we live in. Since late July of this year alone, at least four<\/em> substantial custom campaigns have been released for the game. There\u2019s a fifth fan-made campaign already in development. Three years after Baldur\u2019s Gate 3<\/em>\u2019s release, and with the developer\u2019s assurance that no new official expansions are forthcoming, the question now isn\u2019t whether we\u2019re going to get more content. It\u2019s why we\u2019re getting so much \u2014 and if any of that content is actually good.<\/p>\n Better dev tools can answer one of those questions. Larian\u2019s official mod support was never built to allow full custom-campaign creation. Modders have figured out ways to build around that restriction, partially by using unlocked toolkits like Moonglasses. Larian’s own editor ships with several key features disabled, like the ability to build brand-new levels, write new dialogue, or design new combat encounters\u2026e.g., the foundational building blocks of a real campaign. Moonglasses and similar third-party mods remove those restrictions and allow modders to access developer mode within the game, granting them the ability to build new stories from scratch.<\/p>\n There\u2019s also timing: One of these expansions, A Dream of Silence: ReVamped, was built specifically as an entry for the BG3 July Modathon 2026, an organized community event. That does indicate, for at least some of these mods, it\u2019s not a coincidence that we\u2019re seeing so many projects releasing at the exact same time. (For those interested, this does appear to be an annual event, so there\u2019s a decent chance we\u2019ll get a drop of expansions next year, too.)<\/p>\n But are these expansions any good? Depends on what you\u2019re looking for. Each of the recent modded campaigns delivers something specific.<\/p>\n Determining if each is good is in the eye of the player. Looking for voice acting? Play Dinner With Strahd. Seeking more lore and exploration? Act Two Expansion may be the way to go.<\/p>\n Again, these are not highly polished, official DLC experiences. Some of them do feel oddly disconnected from the rest of the base game \u2014 nothing you live through in the Act Two Expansion, for example, will influence your run\u2019s Act 3. None of these expansions are available on console, at least at this time; each requires a PC install through Nexus Mods, since bigger campaign mods like these don\u2019t currently meet the requirements for Larian\u2019s official console-friendly in-game mod menu. And at least a couple of these mods are in flux or running alphas or betas pending further modder updates. The Sunless Citadel, for instance, doesn\u2019t have a camp system yet (those are harder to build than you might think!). Further, if you\u2019re interested in running more than one of these at a time, you may need to tread with care. A Dream of Silence: ReVamped’s own documentation warns that running it alongside Dinner With Strahd can cause a glitch that unexpectedly swaps out some of Cazador’s visuals.<\/p>\n Six hours from one campaign, seven or eight from another, a whole new region to explore in Act 2, and (my eye\u2019s on you, Path to Menzoberranzan) entirely new characters and a full-game campaign in the works \u2014 the incredibly active and creative modding scene surrounding Baldur\u2019s Gate 3<\/em> is keeping the tens of thousands of people constantly replaying this game busy. This is all real, playable content, available now, ready for your next run. Clear your schedule: For a game that\u2019s not getting official DLC or expansions anymore, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3<\/em> has a surprisingly vast library of ways to make replays feel brand-new, every single time.<\/p>\n![\"bg3-chionthar-wilds-mod\"](\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/bg3-chionthar-wilds-mod.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=2\")
