Baldur's Gate 3 finally has a release month. At The Game Awards 2022, Larian Studios confirmed the massively anticipated cRPG will launch in August 2023, nearly three years after debuting on Steam Early Access. The new trailer also confirms the return of two companions from the original title (Minsc and Jaheira) and provides the first glimpse at the actual city of Baldur's Gate.
Pre-orders are now live for the Baldur's Gate 3 Collector's Edition, which will be limited to just 25K units worldwide. It's rather pricey at $269.99/€259.99, but it's loaded with nice goodies.
