I knew that the success of BG3 would have an impact on the industry, it was only a matter of time. This sounds fun.
BG3? Not sure I am seeing the influence here.
If anything Firaxis's take on XCOM has made turn based tactics somewhat mainstream again, and Ubisoft has already tried to surf on this trend once with Mario+Rabbids.
I don't think there's been a turn based game that has sold as well as BG3 in a long time. They're just chasing trends. Something like XCOM is a better comparison in terms of gameplay and style, but doesn't have the sales that BG3 has.
BG3 may have had an influence but I imagine they looked at games like Mario & Rabbids, Xcom, Gears Tactics, and others which all tend to sell well. These games play pretty differently from BG3.
