Baldur’s Gate 3 publisher wants an official “mature” cartoon, but it “needs to be comedy” 

Larian Studios’ Baldur’s Gate 3 is not just an amazing adaptation of Dungeons and Dragons with amazing well-written characters and amazing art direction, but it’s also absolutely hilarious. 

While Larian is officially leaving Faerun behind as the studio works on its next game, BG3 director of publishing Michael Douse has expressed a desire to watch a full cartoon series based on the RPG. 

Baldur’s Gate 3: The Series

Responding to a fan animation on Twitter, Douse revealed their deep want of an official Baldur’s Gate 3 cartoon that keeps the comedy vibes of the video game. While the game does go to some beautifully dark and emotional places – especially that Astarion moment – it’s also immensely funny. 

“I maintain that a mature BG3 cartoon series would pop the f**k off if someone continued our legacy of those shorts,” Douse told fans. “This is great.”

Some fans pitched in with their own takes on what an official Baldur’s Gate 3 series could be. One fan explained that they would love a show similar to Edgerunners, the gritty Cyberpunk anime that pretty much revived popularity in the maligned sci-fi RPG. However, Douse maintains that any official BG3 show should be rooted in comedy. 

“Needs to be comedy,” Douse told fans. 

Baldur’s Gate 3 is deeply rooted in comedy throughout the entire game. From little jabs from one character to another to flinging characters with a windmill, Larian’s RPG is consistently hilarious, and that’s just what’s actually written. 

When it comes to adapting any Dungeons and Dragons content, comedy is obviously the way to go. After all, there’s numerous official D&D movies, but only the comedic Honor Among Thieves is actually any good.
