During the Guerrilla Collective showcase, Larian Studios boss Swen Vincke has confirmed that the new and highly anticipated Baldur’s Gate 3 game will be entering early access in a few months during August 2020. This announcement has generated significant excitement among fans of the series and RPG enthusiasts alike, as it marks the return of a beloved franchise that has been dormant for nearly two decades.
Upcoming Gameplay Trailer
Also, in a few days’ time on June 18th, 2020, a new gameplay trailer will be released, providing a further glimpse at what we can expect from the Baldur’s Gate 3 role-playing game. This trailer is highly anticipated as it promises to showcase more of the game’s mechanics, story elements, and the stunning graphics that Larian Studios is known for. The third main game in the Baldur’s Gate series is once again based on the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop role-playing system and offers both single and multiplayer modes. This adherence to the D&D system ensures that the game will have a rich and complex narrative, filled with choices and consequences that will affect the outcome of the story.
“Single players will be able to create one or more characters and form a party with them and computer-generated characters to explore the game’s story. Optionally, players will be able to take one of their characters and team up online with one or more other players to form a party together. It was announced during the PAX East 2020 event that, unlike the previous Baldur’s Gate games, Baldur’s Gate III combat will be turn-based, similar to Larian’s Original Sin games.”
Turn-Based Combat and Multiplayer Features
The shift to turn-based combat is a significant change from the real-time with pause system used in the previous Baldur’s Gate games. This new combat system is similar to Larian’s Original Sin games, which have been praised for their strategic depth and tactical gameplay. Turn-based combat allows players to carefully plan their moves, making each encounter a thoughtful and engaging experience. This change is expected to appeal to both new players and veterans of the series, as it offers a fresh take on the classic gameplay.
In addition to the single-player experience, Baldur’s Gate 3 will feature robust multiplayer options. Players can team up online with friends to form a party and tackle the game’s challenges together. This cooperative mode allows for a shared storytelling experience, where each player’s choices and actions can influence the group’s journey. The ability to play with friends adds a new layer of excitement and replayability to the game, as no two playthroughs will be exactly the same.
As soon as more information is made available, we will keep you up to speed as always. The development team at Larian Studios has been actively engaging with the community, providing regular updates and insights into the game’s progress. This transparency has helped build trust and anticipation among fans, who are eager to see how the game evolves during its early access period.
