About Baldur’s Gate III in brief
Baldur’s Gate III is a role-playing video game that looks to offer both a single-player and cooperative multiplayer element. A partial version of the game was released in early access format for Microsoft Windows, the Stadia streaming service, and MacOS on 6 October 2020. The game will be based on the 5th-edition Dungeons & Dragons rule set, though it will include tweaks and modifications that Larian found necessary in translating it to a video game. The player character has been taken captive by the mind flayers, who have launched an invasion of Faerûn, and implanted with an illithid tadpole, a parasite capable of enthralling and transforming them into another mind flayer.
As the player character searches for a way to remove their parasite, they encounter other survivors of the wreck: the human wizard Gale, the half-elf cleric Shadowheart, the high elf vampire Astarion, the human warlock Wyll, and the githyanki fighter Lae’zel. Larian Studios was interested in making a sequel in the Baldur’s Gate series for some time, having first approached Wizards of the Coast after their release of Divinity: Original Sin around 2014. The new sequel has no connection to the cancelled Baldur’sGate III: The Black Hound.
