How many times has it been the final major update 💀
In 2035:
Have you heard of the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Baldur’s Gate XIV? With an expanded free trial which you can play through the entirety of A Forgotten Realm Reborn and the award-winning Astralward expansion up to level 20 for free with no restrictions on playtime.I mean that was different, they released a game that was in an awful state, apologised, took it down then released it again after changing almost everything, time skipped in the story and it’s spent the last 10 years getting improved. Most games either do well or flop, that was an exception because of the whole franchise reputation otherwise there’s no way they’d justify remaking it.
This particular final patch, the eighth major patch, is it. The contracts with Wizards of the Coast are expiring, which frees Larain Studios to work on different games.
While there will certainly be more games in the series, this particular one is effectively done.
