It’s almost certain thatBaldur’s Gate 3will feature at some point, maybe someDark Alliance 2, and probably more, like that third-person open-world game that Hidden Path Entertainment is developing. Expect forthcoming D&D adventure anthology Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel to feature prominently.
