Baldur’s Gate 3 will return to a legendary city when it launches on 31 August 2023.
Prepare for a new adventure in an iconic franchise, as Baldur’s gate 3 goes lie on the very last day of August. The much hyped third entry in the series of RPG adventures now has a firm release window. Larian Games confirmed the d last night and players can come back to the city of Baldur’s Gate to take up arms across PS5, PC and Mac. Alongside the news that we’re all going to roll a character again, the team behind the game peeled back a little more about what’s going on in this den of iniquity. A new trailer gives potential heroes a look at the game’s antagonist.
Baldur’s Gate 3 will see players up against a seemingly invincible necromancer voiced by J.K. Simons. The actor, who has appeared in the likes of Invincible, Spider Man, Portal 2, and even Command & Conquer 3 will bring life to this villain. General Ketheric Thorm leads an army of the undead, and they are headed straight for the game’s eponymous city and the trailer reveals a little mor about the individual.
“Ketheric is a man with complex ambitions and motivations, so in searching for his voice, we knew we needed to work with a renowned character actor who could deliver the kind of nuanced performance we were looking for – so we decided to cast J.K. Simmons (Whiplash, Spider-Man). While we expected it, we were still amazed at how much his performance helped deepen the character. We’ll introduce you to two more antagonists over the coming months – keep an eye out,” explained Larian creative director Swen Vincke in a post on the PlayStation Blog.
Along with this story reveal, you’ll also glimpse Split-screen Co-op ply, controller support, and more action before the game goes live. If you’re ready to go all in ahead of the launch date then Baldur’s Gate 3 Deluxe Edition and the Collector’s Edition can be pre ordered on the PlayStation Store. PC players can still grab it while it’s in Steam Early Access and get upgraded to the Deluxe Edition when it goes live. To find out more about each offering, check out the official website now.
