The Larian cheese won't be going anywhere, and will eventually be released will be DOS gameplay with a thin veneer of Forgotten Realms, and a few hamfisted throwbacks to the previous two games in order to satisfy the licensing requirements.

This is such a missed opportunity on Wizard's part.

I imagine that after BG3, Larian will probably go back and make a proper DOS3 before tackling a possible BG4.

The major hope is that WotC gives Tactical Adventures an actual license and a hefty budget to go make a second series of DnD cRPGs in the meantime (preferably based in Waterdeep, there's a lot of potential there), to take advantage of the increased interest in the wake of BG3 and to fill in the gaps between other major DnD-focused projects, so that DnD enthusiasts can have some actual stability in terms of cRPG projects for once. TA has recently opened a new studio in France too, and for the time being they're said to be working on more Solasta-related things.

(But seriously, a cRPG series based in Waterdeep would be amazing. The lack of any recent cRPG taking place there is a huge missed opportunity. You can talk to Gale about the Yawning Portal and the Undermountain to get a small idea about what goes on in the mere outskirts of the city. There's a reason why there's a lot of adventures and modules taking place in the general area, basically double or triple the amount that Baldur's Gate has.)
