Coming from the minds behind the acclaimedDivinity: Original Sinseries, it’s no surprise that developer Larian Studios seemed more than up to the task of making a new entry in the all-time classicBaldur’s Gateseries. Last year it was confirmed that the studio would be working onBaldur’s Gate 3, and players will finally have the chance to see what Larian has been working on later this year.
During its most recent video broadcast, developer Larian Studios shared more details on the upcomingBaldur’s Gate 3. Specifically,after a previous delay, the studio revealed that its long-awaited title will officially make its Early Access debut on September 30, allowing players to get their first-hand experience with the massive RPG.
Alongside the reveal of its Early Access debut, Larian also debuted a brand new cinematic trailer that gives players a better idea of the journey that is in store inBaldur’s Gate 3, and will also serve as the game’s intro cutscene. The TL;DR version: expect lots of big scary monsters from another dimension, sorcery, and high fantasy spectacle.
Larian’s take on the long-time fantasy RPG franchise wasfirst announced last yearfor PC, and was also confirmed to be coming to Google Stadia. Like it did previously withDivinity: Original Sin 2, Larian is aiming to bringBG3to Early Access first to let players try out the game for themselves and to provide feedback. Given howOriginal Sin 2turned out as an exceptional RPG experience on PC (and later to consoles), hopefully the same strategy will helpBaldur’s Gate 3turn out to be just as great when it lands later this year.
Baldur’s Gate 3will officially head to Early Access for PC and Stadia on September 30, with its full release to follow at a later date.
