Baldur’s Gate 3
The date for the Early Access for Baldur’s Gate 3 is now set and we could be returning to Baldur’s Gate before the end of September
We have been waiting for it and now we have it as the date for when we might be able to play Baldur’s Gate 3 is finally set down. It only took a little bit of a delay before, but here we go with world right from the mouths of Larian Studios that we will be seeing the Early Access for the game on September 30th. Of course, this is still technically tentative based on how the world is going right now. That does not change the fact that they are aiming for us all to be able to experience Baldur’s Gate 3 in the early form on this date. Great news for all of those that were getting hopes crushed after everything we have been through up to now.
Now that we know the date for when we can play Baldur’s Gate 3, we can move along to what new bits that we have to see for it all. There was a rather length livestream for the announcement and a bit of gameplay was revealed for it. Along with parts we will get to experience when we load the game up. You can see all of that below or you can hold off to be fully surprised when Baldur’s Gate 3 hits the early access. I will recommend looking at the first minutes of CGI video here as it is rather exciting to see and builds us up to where we start in the middle of the Blood War. The rest of it all is just gravy on top of everything we have right now.
Baldur’s Gate 3 — Early Access Release Date
Today Larian Studios revealed the eagerly awaited early access release date for the upcoming RPG Baldur’s Gate 3. During the “Panel From Hell” livestream, the studio announced they’re aiming for Sept. 30, 2020, as the date Steam PC and Stadia players will be able to jump into the first act of the game’s early access content. The panel also went in-depth about Baldur’s Gate 3’s early access content, as well as the journey Larian is soon embarking on with players.
The final part of the game’s now roughly six-minute CGI introduction revealed that players begin their journey in Avernus, the first layer of the Nine Hells. Avernus featured heavily in the recently released D&D adventure module Descent Into Avernus, which saw the entire city of Elturel dragged into hell. The city was saved, but the aftermath of that cataclysmic event casts a shadow over the events of Baldur’s Gate 3. Players won’t just see the aftermath, however; captive aboard a nautiloid, they’ll take part in a daring escape as the ship jumps between planes of existence and is caught in the fury of the eternal, apocalyptic Blood War that rages across the hellscape. Avernus will be featured throughout the game, alongside many other locations to be announced later.
A highlight of the Panel From Hell was the “lobotomy scene,” a new gameplay snippet shown during the stream. As players attempt to seize control of the nautiloid, they find a corpse with its brain exposed. The brain itself seems to address the player, asking them to free it. At this point, players can decide to get their hands dirty, extracting the brain from the skull, which leads to the discovery that it’s not a brain at all, but rather a trapped Intellect Devourer. These creatures feed on the intelligence of sentient beings, taking over their victims’ bodies on behalf of their Mind Flayer masters.
Will you be joining in the Early Access for Baldur’s Gate 3 or is this another you will want to wait for a finished project for first? Do you think that we will have more CGI like this as we get further along the development cycle or will the hype slow down once players get the game in their hands? How long before we will be able to play this whole video game in a tabletop format of it all? Let us and the world out there know what you are thinking down in the comments and then feel free to discuss. As more for Baldur’s Gate 3 comes across out plate, we will share it with you. Just be sure to keep checking everything out here to stay as up to date as possible.
