Baldur’s Gate 3 gets a free, Twitch Plays-style prequel that may be teasing the return of a major villain

Baldur's Gate 3 is still a couple months away—it goes from early access to full release on August 31—but you can dive into the shadows lurking in the legendary fantasy city right now in a surprise prequel chapter called Blood in Baldur's Gate. Instead of an RPG, though, it's a murder mystery, and you're going to have to work with other D&D detectives in order to solve the crime.

Blood in Baldur's Gate takes place 15 years before the events of Baldur's Gate 3. A murder has been committed, and it's up to you to figure out whodunit and, presumably, what drove the perpetrator to commit the crime. Of course, it's not quite that easy: By taking the case, you position yourself as "the next lamb brought to slaughter."
