Dungeons & Dragons fans can rejoice: Baldur's Gate 3 is on the way. With detailed character creation and robust combat systems, it's shaping up to be one of the best RPGs of the year. The full game due to launch this year after three years in early access, and since we haven't seen a new entry to the fantasy series since 2000, it stands to reason that this is one of our top new games of 2023 worth keeping your eye on.
It's taken a long time for Baldur's Gate 3 to come to fruition. The ill-fated first attempt made by Black Isle Studios, one of the co-creators of the first two games, ended up being shelved after the developer shut down in 2003. Publisher Wizards of the Coast finally passed the mantle to developer Larian Studios, giving it access to the IP and an opportunity to create a brand new third installment to the Baldur's Gate series. The game as we know it today might have a similar title to its scrapped predecessor, but it's a brand new story entirely. Here's everything we know about Baldur's Gate 3 including a release date, romanceable companions, character customization mechanics, and all the platforms it will be launching on later this year.
