It is the third installment in the Baldur's Gate series, and it tells an all-new story set in the current era of the Forgotten Realms.

Let me just say that we make significant reference to the events of BG 1 and 2, that there are returning characters, and that what happened in BG 1/2/tob has a direct impact on what happens in BG3. Vincke stated in a Reddit AMA that “We don't want to give anything away, but we wouldn't call it Baldur's Gate 3 if there wasn't a connection between the two games. The game will have a connection to the original Baldur's Gate games, despite the fact that it takes place years after the events of Baldur's Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal and features different characters. How does it connect to the previous games? That date will be announced when we are even closer to achieving our goal, but for the time being, we expect Baldur's Gate 3 to be released from Early Access in 2023 if all goes according to plan.”Īs well as being available on GOG and Steam, the finished version of Baldur's Gate 3 will also be available on Stadia. Over the course of the past year in Early Access, significant progress has been made toward that quality bar, but we understand that many players are still waiting for an official release date. “Rather than a specific release date, we use a quality bar as our internal release benchmark.
