    Baldur’s Gate 3 PC Launches Earlier Than Previously Announced

    Larian Studios has officially announced that Baldur’s Gate 3 PC will now launch earlier than initially announced.

    Baldur’s Gate 3 PC and PS5 Launch Dates Changed

    In a new Community Update posted recently, the studio has revealed that Baldur’s Gate 3 will release on August 3, 2023 on PC which is almost a month early. On PS5, however, the game will be released on September 6, 2023, a week later than its previously announced release date of August 31, 2023.

    “We’ve always been a studio that aims to release on as many platforms as possible, in order of readiness. We’ve also aimed for the highest possible quality on every platform we’ve released on. We’re at a point where we’re reaching 60fps on PlayStation 5, which is remarkable considering the breadth and depth Baldur’s Gate 3 aims for. It features over 170 hours of cinematics, more than twice the length of the entirety of Game of Thrones, and more than three times the dialogue of all three Lord of the Rings novels combined. It is a massive, expansive game that truly brings D&D to life, with multiplayer and split-screen co-op, and at a scale that’s roughly 4 times that of our previous game, Divinity: Original Sin 2.” 

    “Reaching a technical bar that matches our design ambitions felt like the right move, while holding back the PC version when we knew we’d be ready felt like the wrong move in such a busy launch period,” said the Director of Publishing, Michael Douse.

    Big Changes Coming

    Larian revealed the many long-awaited details about the content of Baldur’s Gate 3 from which D&D races and classes will appear in the game, to new playable characters and companions, to a wide array of new character customization options.

    The studio pulled these stats to put the scale of Baldur’s Gate 3 into perspective:

    • Containing more dialogue than three times all three Lord of the Rings books combined, the script for Baldur’s Gate 3 contains over 2 million words
    • With over 170 hours of cinematics, twice the length of every season of Game of Thrones combined
    • 7 playable protagonists each with their own rich stories, personalities, desires, and objectives, as well as a best-in-class Character Creation system for custom characters
    • Play as one of 11 playable races & 31 subraces, with multiple body types 
    • 12 classes and 46 subclasses, compared to Divinity: Original Sin 2’s 10 “schools of spells”
    • Over 600 spells & actions (excluding upcasts), compared to Divinity: Original Sin 2’s 225 player spells & actions

    “We set out to make a game that would reward player creativity and truly bring D&D to life in a cinematic way that explores the breadth and depth RPGs can offer. Baldur’s Gate 3 has become an astronomical game that never fails to surprise, and I’m super proud of the team. We couldn’t have done this without our Early Access community, but it’s crazy to think that all this time they experienced less than a quarter of what BG3 has to offer. I cannot wait to hear the stories our players will tell when the full game releases. It’s time to Gather your Party,” offered CEO and Creative Director Swen Vincke.   

    Baldur’s Gate 3 on PC launches on August 3, 2023 while PS5 on September 6, 2023.
