During an investor event at the New York Toy Fair, Hasbro revealed thatBaldur’s Gate 3will release later this year on Steam Early Access. So similarly to Larian Studios’ previous titles,Baldur’s Gate 3will have an Early Access phase.
They also revealed that seven total D&D-based games will be releasing now through 2025 (includingBG3andDark Alliancewhich were previously announced, so five other unannounced titles left).Baldur’s Gate 3andBaldur’s Gate: Dark Allianceis coming out this year and then a new game every year after that until 2025. For now fans can look forward to seeing more ofBG3soon, as the title will get aworld gameplay premiereat the upcoming PAX East. The panel that Larian Studios will show the game off is set for February 27th at 3:30 PM ET.
Originally what seemed to bedeveloper Larian Studios teasingeither a thirdDivinity: Original Singame or a third mainlineDivinitygame on its websiteturned outto beBG3instead. And later on the title was officially announced forGoogle Stadia. If you’re still worried about the time period for the game, remember that this studiorecently statedthat it’ll come out for Stadia “when it’s ready” and they’ll be taking the time needed for it, to make sure everything is done right. So that same time and care would naturally be put into any ports ofBaldur’s Gate 3to ensure its quality.
Speaking of platforms, while the Epic Games Store has been grabbing a variety of exclusives as of late, Larian Studios doesn’t plan to bringBaldur’s Gate 3toEpic’s storefront upon release. “You will see Steam pages pop up, you will see GOG pages pop up, but no Epic pages will pop up,” Swen Vincke, the founder of Larian Studios told US Gamer. “I don’t see why not; I don’t believe in exclusives, I prefer to be everywhere.”
And according to a recent spot onNintendo Voice Chat, Vincke doesn’t seem to be ruling out a Nintendo Switch port release either, though the current hardware seems to be holding the studio back as of now.
