Baldur’s Gate 3 Will Have Us Curing Ourselves Next August

Baldur’s Gate

The full release window for Baldur’s Gate 3 is now set up with so many more Baldur’s Gate goodies on the way

It was a big list of updates out of The Game Awards, and here we go with another and this time for Baldur’s Gate 3. A game that has been out there on the PC in an Early Access form for a while now and had many other updates before now. This time, though, it looks as if Larian Studios is finally ready to give us all the one big update that we have been waiting for. That being that the full version of Baldur’s Gate 3 will finally be out there in August of 2023 now. Not a solid release date, but a window that will give us all something to hold out hope for and look toward. If you have been holding off on it all up to now, that is.

Okay, we know this is not the best of news for Baldur’s Gate 3 since we do not have a solid date to look at for the game, but it does come along with a little bit extra. Not just a fun new video that shows off so much of the game and an escape from a Mimic out there. I have a special place in my heart for those creatures. But, here we have a look at the full collector's edition for Baldur’s Gate 3 too, and what extras will be out there too. Most of them feel like they will build into the D&D setting than just random goodies, but that is always a good thing so we technically get more game for our video games here. Even if that is a tabletop extra then something to add to the digital space of it all. Have a look and then count down the days until the final build is out there.
