Fans of Stadia and Dungeons & Dragons have been waiting for Baldur’s Gate 3, a fantastic looking RPG game based on D & D’s rules. Today, Larian Studios shared that we can all get our first taste of Baldur’s Gate 3 when it’s coming to Stadia and PC in Early Access in September.
The classic Baldur’s Gate and Icewind Dale series of RPGs, which were originally released for PC but more recently landed on Android, are so popular in part because they use mechanics directly from the third edition of Dungeons & Dragons . With Baldur’s Gate 3, Larian Studios – the people behind the epic Divinity series of RPGs – team up with Wizards of the Coast to build an RPG video game based not only on the latest fifth edition of Dungeons & Dragons, but also a game that serves as something of a sequel to a recent D&D adventure, Baldur’s Gate: Descent into Avernus.
Today, Larian Studios hosts a livestream host called “Panel from Hell”, which offers a comprehensive look at the development release of Baldur’s Gate 3. Honest warning, some of the gameplay and cinematics are not for the faint of heart .
Along the way, we see a variety of locations that Dungeons and Dragons players should be familiar with – including “Avernus,” the first layer of hell – brought to life in incredible detail. We also see the kind of choices players will be able to make, including an absolutely gruesome “lobotomy” scene.
More importantly, Larian has shared the currently scheduled date for when the first version of Baldur’s Gate 3 will arrive in the hands of gamers. Players on PC and Google Stadiums can play Baldur’s Gate 3 Early Access on September 30, if all goes according to plan.
During the Early Access period, Baldur’s Gate will allow 3 players from the ‘first act’ of the story. Fortunately, to keep players occupied, there will be multiple main characters to try, each offering their own unique spin on the story.
Baldur’s Gate 3 will mark the third game to launch as Early Access, following Stages excluding Embr and One Hand Clapping.
