After finishing the Enhanced Editions of ''Baldur's Gate'' and ''Baldur's Gate II'', Overhaul Games announced to develop ''Baldur's Gate 3'' with funding from Kickstarter.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2012/03/20/former-bioware-developer-making-baldurs-gate-3-a-long-term-goal |title=Former BioWare Developer Making "Baldur's Gate 3" A Long-Term Goal |work=Crunchyroll |date=March 20, 2012 |access-date=October 15, 2013 |archive-date=January 12, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140112082844/http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2012/03/20/former-bioware-developer-making-baldurs-gate-3-a-long-term-goal |url-status=live}}</ref> The studio later clarified their ''Baldur's Gate'' game to be a separate game from ''The Black Hound''.<ref>{{cite twitter |author=Trent Oster |user=TrentOster |number=195534536350765056 |title=@kunikos @jesawyer I think Josh is doing well over at Obsidian.

Beamdog began calling the game ''Baldur's Gate Next'' as a way to differentiate it from the Bhaalspawn Saga.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nowgamer.com/news/1727903/baldurs_gate_3_could_happen_just_not_like_you_expected.html |title=Baldur's Gate 3 Could Happen, Just Not Like You Expected |work=NowGamer |date=December 17, 2012 |access-date=October 15, 2013 |archive-date=January 23, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130123163619/http://www.nowgamer.com/news/1727903/baldurs_gate_3_could_happen_just_not_like_you_expected.html |url-status=live}}</ref>

Overhaul Games and Beamdog eventually lost the rights to develop further ''Baldur's Gate'' games and the license was later acquired by [[Larian Studios]], the Belgian developer behind the ''[[Divinity: Original Sin]]'' series. Their project, ''[[Baldur's Gate 3]]'', was unveiled in 2019 and released four years later.
