The standard edition will be available for preload on September 4th and released on September 6th. The Digital Deluxe Edition will be available for preload on August 31st, with early access starting on September 2nd.

"Baldur's Gate 3" is the latest installment in the classic role-playing game series "Baldur's Gate," which follows the rules of "Dungeons & Dragons" and was first introduced in 1998. Created using the all-new "Divinity 4.0" engine, the game offers unprecedented freedom, allowing players to explore, experiment, and interact in the vibrant world of the "Forgotten Realms," a realm filled with characters, dangers, and deceit. From the cursed forests to the mystical caves of the shadowy realms, and even the vast city of Baldur's Gate itself, the epic cinematic storytelling brings players closer to their characters than ever before, shaping every action and decision throughout the adventure.

Online Multiplayer for up to Four Players

 You can unite your team to collectively engage enemies or split the group to pursue individual tasks and plans. Collaborate on crafting the perfect strategy… or introduce chaos when your friends least expect it. Interpersonal dynamics are complex, especially when there are parasites in your mind.

 

Origin Characters

 Seven unique origin characters provide meticulously crafted experiences, each with distinct qualities, thoughts, and worldviews. Their stories intertwine with the overarching narrative, and your choices will determine outcomes such as redemption, salvation, dominance, or any of the multiple possibilities. Play as a native or recruit them to fight alongside you and appreciate their stories.

 

Revamped Turn-based Combat

 Built on the 5th edition rules of "Dungeons & Dragons," experience the initiative in team battles, and the advantages and disadvantages of different decisions in combat. We've introduced dice modifiers for battlefield perspective and expanded environmental interactivity, offering new, more flexible tactics and rewards that let you exhibit your strategies and foresight in battles. Three difficulty settings let you customize the challenge of combat. Activate dice bonuses to influence fights or play in the tactical mode for a truly hardcore experience.

 

Unprecedented Breadth and Depth

 Built on 11 races (Human, Githyanki, Tiefling, Dwarf, Elf, Halfling, Drow, Half-Orc, Half-Elf, Gnome, Dragonborn), it adds 31 subraces and branches into 46 sub-classes from 12 base classes. In this meticulously crafted world, over 600 spells and actions offer near-infinite interactive freedom. Exploration is a reward in this world, and your agency dictates the journey. Our unique "Character Creator" provides unprecedented character depth, offering rich interaction options to ensure that no matter who you are, a unique character is tailored for you up to level 12. Over 174 hours of cinematic transitions ensure that every choice you make is followed through in your journey, making each gameplay experience a new cinematic adventure.

 

Intricate and Profound Romantic Stories

 As the threat of war looms over Baldur's Gate and the invasion of mind flayers is imminent, friendships – though not obligatory – will also join your journey. You'll forge genuine and dynamic relationships with people you encounter along the way, and how they evolve depends on you. Each companion has their moral compass and reacts to the choices you make during the journey. What cost will you bear for your ideals? Will love guide your actions? The relationships established on the road to Baldur's Gate serve as both moments of respite in your camp and weigh heavily on the decisions you make during the adventure.

 

Highly Customized Livestream Experience

 When you hit "Start Streaming," your broadcast won't be disrupted by factors like nudity, profanity, or lack of appropriate attire. "Baldur's Gate 3" offers three different levels of tailored streaming options. You can individually (or collectively) disable nudity and explicit content while enabling Twitch integration to directly interact with viewers, just as we showcased at the Hell's Feast event! With these choices, no matter how you choose to play, "Baldur's Gate 3" ensures your livestream goes smoothly.
