This week on the Eurogamer Newscast, we discuss who might pick up the baton and develop a potential Baldur's Gate 4 - now that BG3 studio Larian has confirmed it is leaving the franchise behind. The rights to Baldur's Gate of course belong to Wizards of the Coast, who are free to enlist another studio to make further games in the Dungeons and Dragons universe - and even use Larian's characters. And considering how well BG3 has been received, it would seem financially prudent for a publisher to mount some kind of follow-up at some point. Perhaps BioWare might like to give it another go? Alternatively you could argue - and Larian's own Swen Vincke has done so - that there really shouldn't need to be a Baldur's Gate 4 at all. BG3 was great, but why does that mean there has to be more? Joining me this week to discuss are Eurogamer's Ed Nightingale and Victoria Kennedy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Het Amerikaanse ministerie van Justitie klaagt Apple aan omdat het techconcern zijn macht op de markt voor smartphones zou misbruiken. Joe van Burik vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Volgens aanklagers in de Verenigde Staten beperkte de maker van iPhones de toegang tot technologie in die telefoons voor ontwikkelaars van concurrerende producten. Daarmee vestigde Apple een monopolie dat gebruikers van de smartphones op extra hoge kosten jaagt, stelt minister van Justitie Merrick Garland. Volgens de aanklacht beperkt Apple de toegang tot bepaalde hardware en software in de iPhones. Eerder klaagde de fabrikant van smart-trackers Tile al dat het amper mogelijk was om de eigen producten te koppelen aan de iPhone. Jaren later ontwikkelde Apple zelf de vergelijkbare AirTags, die je bijvoorbeeld aan sleutels kunt hangen om ze via de smartphone terug te vinden. Apple verwerpt de aanklacht en noemt die zowel "feitelijk als volgens de wet" fout. "Deze aanklacht bedreigt ons en de principes die Apple onderscheiden. Als die slaagt, zou het ons vermogen beperken om de soort technologie te ontwikkelen die mensen van Apple verwachten, waar hardware, software en diensten op elkaar inspelen." Verder in deze Tech Update: De Europese Commissie gaat de pijlen richten op Meta, Google-moederbedrijf Alphabet en Apple, volgens Reuters kunnen die techreuzen de eerste kritische onderzoeken verwachten in het kader van de deze maand in werking getrede Digital Markets Act De vele duizenden ontslagen in de game-industrie zijn helemaal niet nodig en het gevolg van een hebberige focus op kwartaalcijfers, zegt Swen Vincke, baas van het Belgische gamebedrijf achter Baldur's Gate 3 (volgens velen dé game van 2023) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hi, all! I'm back this week to chat with Swen Vincke, the founder of Larian Studios, a Belgian outfit. Swen is a hilarious and passionate dude, so this is a riot even if you're not a big fan of Divine Divinity. The new game is definitely worth checking out, though, since it's a big move from action to turn-based battles. They've also got some great ideas for item combining and co-op concepts. This is one where I really want them to not just hit the basic goal, but start getting into their stretch goals. Check out their Kickstarter and see this thing; I'm sure you're enjoy it if you're at all into RPGs. Their kickstarter video has a genuine LOL moment that will have you in tears.
