Baldur’s Gate 3 is the most anticipated game for many people, especially for fans of western role-playing games and Dungeons & Dragons in particular. It’s not surprising because, even though it’s still in early access, what can be played of the game is already absolutely fabulous and it has continued to grow over time, even with a lot of content yet to be added. The remaining content has now been finalized, and finally, an exact release date has been announced in a community update on the game’s Steam page. There’s great news for PC players and just a slight disappointment for PlayStation 5 players.
The game will be released on PC on August 3, earlier than its original release date of August 31. On the other hand, the PlayStation 5 version will have to wait six days longer than expected, as it will not be released until September 6. This delay is due to the difference in polishing both versions.
While the PC version is essentially complete, the PlayStation 5 version still needs some polishing. At Larian Studios, the studio behind the game, they aim to deliver a consistent 60FPS experience on PlayStation 5 without any drops, and although they are close to achieving it, they are still in the process of fine-tuning it. As they do not want to compromise the quality of the game by setting an arbitrary date that they believe they cannot meet, they have decided to prioritize the PC players by advancing the release date. Meanwhile, they will continue to work on polishing the details to provide PlayStation 5 players with the best possible version of the game.
Among other intriguing details that explain the heights reached by Larian in this game, it is said that Baldur’s Gate 3 has more cinematic dialogue than the three Lord of the Rings novels combined. Together. This is due to its 174 hours of cinematics, twice the length of each season of Game of Thrones. Together. This gives context to the absolutely massive volume that Larian aspires to achieve with this game.
Furthermore, they have specified some important details about what we can expect from the final version of the game. We will be able to choose from 12 classes and 46 different subclasses, 11 races and 31 different subraces, 37 feats to choose from at certain levels to enhance our characters, over 600 spells and subspells, a story mode, and a hardcore mode. Additionally, everything will be fully translated into both European Spanish and Latin American Spanish, with cinematics dubbed in English and Spanish subtitles. This demonstrates that Larian is not content with creating a good game; they aim to make an exceptional game. And if you are playing on PC, congratulations: you won’t have to wait much longer to experience it.
