Let’s ignore any and all context that might have made BG3 an exception. Famous IP is something the frostpunk devs don’t really have. They’ve got a great start, but 50 plus years of books to pull from, it has none.

Alan Wake 2, Cyberpunk 2077, the Resident Evil games. Even Frostpunk sold well enough to expect a sequel to do better.
