Baldur’s Gate 3 Early Access Won’t Launch in August; Release Date and “Big News” Coming in Two Weeks

Today Larian Studios provided an update about the launch of the early access of Baldur’s Gate 3. 

The developer had previously announced that the game would be in the fans’ hands by this month but today we learn that it won’t happen.

That being said, we can’t complain too much, considering that they said “maybe.”

We also learn that the release date will be announced alongside “big news” at a panel on August 18.

You can see the announcement below.

Baldur’s Gate 3 will release for PC and Stadia when it’s ready. At the moment, Larian Studio isn’t talking about additional platforms.

Here’s how the developer describes the game.

“Gather your party, and return to the Forgotten Realms in a tale of fellowship and betrayal, sacrifice and survival, and the lure of absolute power.

Mysterious abilities are awakening inside you, drawn from a Mind Flayer parasite planted in your brain. Resist, and turn darkness against itself. Or embrace corruption, and become ultimate evil.

From the creators of Divinity: Original Sin 2 comes a next-generation RPG, set in the world of Dungeons and Dragons.”
