It’s finally time for fans to get what they’ve been waiting for: the fantasy role-playing game Baldur’s Gate III, promising thrilling adventures, is coming soon. Here’s a look at what players can expect in the new instalment of the smash-hit franchise.

 

Larian Studios’ latest RPG game, Baldur’s Gate III, will be available to players soon. The game has been highly anticipated by fantasy fans looking for thrilling adventures and stunning graphics. The game’s official release date is not yet known, but the developers have already announced that the game will be released for PC, Mac and PlayStation 5.

Baldur’s Gate III was released on Steam last October as part of the Early Access program. Since the first version, a lot of new content has been added to the game, which can now be enjoyed on consoles. A special feature of the PlayStation 5 version is that it allows users to play two-player co-operative games on the same console, but also allows up to four players to battle it out online.

The game’s creators have also released a new trailer for the game, in which players can meet one of the newest main enemies, the invisible wizard Ketheric Thorm, who leads the ranks of the invaders and moves invisibly. The enemy is voiced by the great actor J.K. Simmons, which adds to the enjoyment of the game.

New additions to the game include support for controllers in addition to the mouse and keyboard, and special gifts for those who pre-order the game in Deluxe and Collector’s Edition versions. All pre-orderers will be able to play Act I, which includes the game’s opening and the very first chapter of the story, 72 hours before the game’s release.

The PlayStation Blog post also detailed the offerings for Baldur’s Gate III Deluxe and Collector’s Edition, both available for pre-order on PlayStation Store. All early access players on PC (including those who purchase the game now until launch) will automatically receive an upgrade to the Deluxe Edition.

 

The Baldur’s Gate III Deluxe Edition is an all-digital version of the game, and includes the Divinity: Original Sin 2 song pack, exclusive game cube skins, an adventurer’s bag to get you started, digital downloads of Baldur’s Gate III’s original soundtrack album, art book and character sheets, and 72 hours of early access to Act I of the game from 28 August (PlayStation 5).
