There are some major differences between the Divinity series and Baldur's Gate 3 that are worth noting though. The developer's stable of titles includes the beloved Divinity: Original Sin series, so the legacy of Baldur's Gate is in good hands. Larian Studios is at the helm this time around, rather than Bioware. Then, you’ll set off into a fantasy world (the Sword Coast in the Forgotten Realms, specifically), where you’ll gather a party, fight monsters, explore dungeons, converse with NPCs, and shape an epic story based on your decisions. You’ll create a character, customizing your stats, skills, race, class, name, sex ,and so on. If you’ve played a PC RPG before, you probably know the broad strokes of Baldur’s Gate 3 gameplay already.

The atmospheric video showed off the city of Baldur’s Gate, and hinted that the intellect-devouring mind flayers will be the big villains this time around. Baldur’s Gate 3 trailerīaldur’s Gate 3 had a short announcement trailer that debuted for E3 2019. Given that the RPG will offer players different paths and courses of action to complete Act 1, paired with the different character options, you'll be set for far more than the advertised 25 hours worth of content. There are seven classes and nine races/ subraces available with more to come later.

So what does Early Access get you aside from the self-satisfied glow of helping iron out the kinks before release? Players will be able to play through Act 1 of Baldur's Gate 3 which should take around 25 hours to plough through. The studio has confirmed that this price won't change at the game's launch. If you want to hop in, it's priced at $59.99 / £49.99. Baldur's Gate 3 went into Early Access on Octoon both Steam and Google Stadia.
