Our only hope is they sell the IP, but what devs could do it justice? Who even wants to buy it? Today is such a sad day.

Larian. The answer is Larian. Or one of those studios an ex-BioWare dev started. I think there’s like three

yeah, Larian could pull it off, Supergiant might as well if they'd be willing & interested to work on an IP that isn't originally theirs, but idk if they have the kinda money to buy an IP

If EA had any heart at all, they’d charge something reasonable but not ridiculous for something they literally don’t want, but the problem is that EA doesn’t have a heart, especially not now under new ownership and with debts to repay.

CdPR could probably do it too, but idk if they wanna leave the Cyberpunk/Witcher development pattern

CdPR

There's just no way CDPR could take it on with a new Witcher DLC, new Witcher game, new Cyberpunk game all in development. These are huge budget endeavors they can't add a third to their plate. Unless they're full on scrapping the Cyberpunk sequel to buy an IP and dev for it. Which I just don't see why they would do that.

I’d take waiting even longer than it would’ve taken if BioWare was allowed to continue in exchange for a studio owning it that I’m more sure will use it someday and trust more to do it justice eventually

4th. Don't forget they're also ontop of Witcher DLC, Witcher 4, Cyberpunk 2, they are working on an original IP we don't know much about yet either.

They also have an entire new IP game too, so they're even more overloaded than that.
