Baldur’s Gate 3 Director Teases Next Big, Boundary-Pushing Game

Baldur's Gate 3 developers are talking up patch 5 as possibly one of the most important post-launch updates for the RPG.

Baldur’s Gate 3’s fifth major post-launch patch is set to launch sometime before the end of the week, and based on everything that developer Larian Studios has said about it so far, it looks like it’s going to be quite a significant update. And while full details on what it will bring to the acclaimed RPG aren’t available just yet, Larian’s director of publishing Michael Douse has confirmed that performance improvements will be included.

Baldur's Gate 3's next major patch is on its way—scheduled to release this week, according to Larian Studios' director of publishing, Michael Douse. Announced in a Twitter post yesterday, Douse reassures players: «we caught the nasty bug causing slowdowns and the good news is: it’s fixed in Patch 5!»

is based on, but reaching the maximum level of 20 isn't possible in this video game version of the beloved tabletop RPG. The level cap is significantly reduced to level 12, which is higher than it was in the early access version of the game but doesn't hold up against 's standard. However, players shouldn't hold onto hope that developer Larian Studios will be increasing the level cap further anytime soon through expansions or DLC.

Larian says you don't have to worry about the Baldur's Gate 3 Deluxe Edition selling out, and as such suggests you avoid scalpers trying to sell it at a higher price than retail.

Baldur’s Gate 3 absolutely swept through this year’s Golden Joystick Awards with a record-breaking seven wins in categories such as Best Storytelling, Best Studio, and the Ultimate Game of the Year. But Larian Studios’ CEO wasn’t expecting quite so much trophy love, despite the game’s mammoth success.

Following days of speculation, Larian Studios has just confirmed on Twitter (X) that the Xbox Series S|X launch of Baldur's Gate 3 is on track to happen at some point in December. The release date will be announced at Geoff Keighley's The Game Awards event, which takes place on Thursday 7th.

Karlach's actor in Baldur's Gate 3 has been really getting into her character's romance with Minthara.

Larian's king wizard (CEO) Swen Vincke is very eager to tell you about the studio's next game after Baldur's Gate 3. And also, a bit terrified, because after all, the response to Larian's D&D adaptation has been rather rhapsodic. How on Earth do you replicate that level of success? The answer may lie in scripture.

Larian Studios is set to make a big announcement for Baldur’s Gate 3 later this week.

Baldur’s Gate 3 has been one of 2023’s biggest success stories – far bigger than most would have expected it to be – and the RPG’s widespread success has, of course, gone hand-in-hand with a significant explosion of popularity for developer Larian Studios. Expectations will be high from whatever the developer’s next game is, and Larian itself certainly seems determined to keep pushing the envelope with whatever it works on.

Fresh from receiving a number of The Game Awards nominations and off the back of hit game Baldur’s Gate 3, developer Larian Studios has teased its next project.
