Set out for adventure on the couch too
Larian Studios has locked in a firm launch date for Baldur’s Gate 3, and a new platform too. Baldur’s Gate 3 arrives on August 31 for PC, Mac, and ꧒now, PlayStation 5.
Revealed as part of today’s PlayStation State of Play, the latest RPG from Larian is getting a console version to coincide with the 1.0 PC launch on August 31. We had previously known the window for Larian’s exit from Early Access, but now we have a firm date, alongside the platforms for Baldur’s Gate 3‘s launch.
Today’s trailer spotlights General Ketheric Thorm, a necromancer leading an army of undead horrors towards Baldur’s Gate. As Larian , Thorm is not the main antagonist of Baldur’s Gate 3, but one of three♒ main antagonists the party will have to defeat in the course ♒of their adventures.
Thorm is voiced by none other than J.K. Simmons, and the rꦏecording some lines for the game is very, very good.
Adventuring your way
Alongside the conso🎃le platform reveal, there were also some nice featureಞs shown off for the upcoming adventure. First off, there is full controller support. And split-screen co-op return as well, a feature that Larian had included for console releases of previous RPGs.
Baldur’s Gate 3 will also support cross-progression between PC, Mac, and PlayStation 5. Theoretically, this means you could play Baldur’s Gate 3 at home on the PS5, and then take your save on-th🦂e-go with your Steam Deck.
Larian also detailed the different editions of Baldur’s Gate 3. There is a Digital Deluxe Edition on the way, with a pack of special collectibles including Bard songs from the Divinity series, a digital OST and artbook, and some special character sheets for each Baldur’s Gate 3 origin character. Everyone who’s already picked up the Early Access version of Baldur’s Gate 3 will get a free upgrade to the Digital Deluxe on launch day, t🐬oo.
The Early Access journey for Baldur’s Gate 3 comes to a close when the new RPG launches on August 31♛, 2023 for PC and PS5.
