During today's "Panel From Hell" livestream, Larian Studios announced that the highly anticipated Baldur's Gate 3 will enter Early Access on September 30, 2020.
Steam users and Google Stadia players will be able to try their hand at the game's first act from there, and players will be able to create their own characters or choose from five distinct Origin characters at the start of Early Access.
Creative Director Swen Vincke showed how two playthroughs can be very different depending on the player's choice and playstyle. How the player progresses through the world will have effects not only on their character, but also on the members of his group.
Larian Studios has proven itself capable of carrying the CRPG torch with the Divinity: Original Sin titles and will carry it straight into the genre's most prolific series with Baldur's Gate 3. The game will feature over 45 lines of dialogue, 000 characters and 596 spells and actions for players to travel through and out of the hell-caught city of Avernus.
Baldur's Gate 3 was recently delayed from its scheduled August launch in Early Access. Fortunately, the delay was not significant. Stay tuned for more on Baldur's Gate 3 over the coming weeks.
