Baldur’s Gate 3 Early Access Launch Delayed, Release Date Announcement Set for August 18th

Larian Studios earlier announced that Baldur’s Gate 3 would arrive in Steam Early Access in August. However, it attached a strong “Maybe” to that statement due to potential delays that could occur. Said delays have seemingly taken place and the role-playing game is now set to arrive past August.

The good news is that Larian Studios will provide a release date soon. Promising that it’s “just around the corner,” the developer announced a live stream for August 18th at 10 AM PT where it will announce the release date. We’ll need to stay tuned for more details in the meantime but currently, September is looking like a safe bet.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is currently in development for PC and Google Stadia. The early access version is currently planned to feature five Origins characters, Act 1 of the story and a total of five classes and 11 archetypes.

Good news and bad news. BG3 won’t hit August, but it’s just around the corner. We’ll be announcing the release date, as well as big news on the Panel From Hell alongside @geoffkeighley, @LarAtLarian and the Larian crew. Tune in Aug 18th. https://t.co/S1RlVpJ8yw pic.twitter.com/NCkrnHHpH0
