Studio Larian revealed what to expect from Baldur’s Gate 3, which will debut in Early Access. The length of the campaign was discussed and the game content compared to Divinity: Original Sin 2.
EARLY ACCESS BG3 IN A NUTSHELL:
20-25 hours of fun with a single pass,
3 times more content than the early version of Divinity:
Original Sin II will be multiplayer, but no split-screen yet, premiere on September 30. We are only a few weeks away from the premiere of Baldur’s Gate III in Early Access. Larian studio responsible for this project revealed what exactly we can expect from the early version of the continuation of the legendary RPG series. The release coming soon in Early Access will offer Act 1 of the campaign, which will take approximately 20-25 hours to complete. Baldur’s Gate III, however, is to be very non-linear, so the game will be able to be played multiple times, each time participating in very different events. The section is to be completely refined. It will offer cutscenes, audio issues, several language versions (but not all planned) and a multiplayer option, although the split-screen option will not be available for now. When creating a character, players will be able to choose from nine races and six classes. There will also be a large set of podiums and subclasses. During the game, you will be able to recruit five companions.
Overall, the early version of Baldur’s Gate III will be three times the size of the team’s previous game when it made its Early Access debut. However, as the authors explain, this is because the content of BG3 is “denser”, not more extensive. In other words, the latest production from Larian studio offers much more options and is more non-linear. The second and third passes of the first act of the campaign can be practically completely different, depending on the player’s decision. The authors promise that Baldur’s Gate III will be an exceptionally rich production. As an example, a spell is given that allows you to talk to the dead. Instead of limiting its use to a few key scenes, Larian studio will let you use this spell on literally all corpses and each dead person will have something interesting to say. As a reminder, Baldur’s Gate III will debut in Early Access on September 30 this year. The authors have put a lot of work into polishing this release, but it is still going to be a draft version of the game, so the developers warn that many things will require more polishing. Releasing the production in Early Access is to allow developers to find problems, not only technical, but also those related to improper balancing of the campaign.
