After having spent a considerable amount of time in Steam Early Access, Baldur’s Gate 3 will finally be launching in full on August 31, and though there’s still several months left until the highly anticipated RPG hits 1.0, developer Larian Studios is already gearing up for the milestone and revealing new details surrounding the game’s release.
In a post published on the PlayStation Blog, the developer has revealed Baldur’s Gate 3’s Deluxe and Collector’s Editions. The Deluxe Edition, which will be fully digital, will include the Playable Bard Song Pack, an exclusive in-game dice skin, an Adventurer’s Pouch containing beginner supplies, digital downloads of the game’s OST, artbook, and character sheets, and 72 hours early access to Act 1 of the game ahead of its global release. A pack of in-game items inspired by Divinity: Original Sin 2 will also be included.
The Collector’s Edition, meanwhile, will include all of the above, in addition to a custom sticker sheet, a 25cm Mind Flayer vs. Drow battle diorama, a 160-page hardcover art book, a cloth map of Faerûn, a set of Dungeons and Dragons-inspired origin character sheets, a metal tadpole keyring, a Magic: The Gathering booster pack, a custom-engraved metal d20 dice (as well as an in-game version of the same), and a certificate of authenticity.
Over on Twitter, Larian has also confirmed that those who’ve bought Baldur’s Gate 3’s early access version on Steam will also get a free and automatic upgrade to the Deluxe Edition when the game launches.
The developer has also confirmed that cross-platform progression and splitscreen co-op will be supported. Read more on that through here.
