Sizing up Baldur's Gate 3's success, Warhammer 40k CRPG lead says "almost no developer has the same resources"

A new Halo game is on the way — though it’s coming to tabletop instead of Xbox or PC. UK company Mantic Games will partner with 343 Industries to produce a new Halo tabletop miniatures game.

Amid the altogether glowing launch reception for Baldur's Gate 3, which went on to win just about every GOTY award under the sun and which we also put at the summit of the best games of 2023, there were a fair few reviews and posts from long-time CRPG fans who argued that Larian's take on the series felt more like a Divinity game than a Baldur's Gate game. That's not necessarily calling it bad – the Divinity games are beloved, after all – but perhaps it just doesn't feel like the Baldur's Gates of old. And I remember similar conversations around Baldur's Gate 3's early access launch about three years ago.

Work on the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel is finally underway, and members of the development team seem to be extremely excited for it, judging from some recent comments.

Microsoft has reportedly uncovered the cause of an issue that can result in Baldur’s Gate 3 saves being lost on Xbox Series X/S.

Baldur's Gate 3 managed to break out of the traditional CRPG demographic and capture the hearts and minds of total newcomers to the genre (like me). This was hugely exciting to see, but it inevitably caused some headaches for folks who found themselves intimidated by the game's unfamiliar rules and systems (again, like me). The cure to this headache, according to Larian senior RPG designer Anna Guxens, is to simply "roll with it" instead of trying to understand and master everything perfectly.

Larian Studios has released a new hotfix for Baldur’s Gate 3, adding an excellent quality-of-life feature to the acclaimed RPG. You can now use quest items without carrying them, like Minthara’s lute. If you send it to the stash or a companion in camp without knowing when it would be required, it will be usable when the situation arises.

Can I make a confession? It took me about a month to get through the third act of Baldur's Gate 3. Not because it was particularly challenging or—relative to the acts that preceded it—especially long, but because the second I arrived in Rivington I felt compelled to put the game down and go do something else for a while.

A powerful boss named Chaos Marine Aurora is one of the toughest challenges to beat early in the story of . This final obstacle in Chapter 1 will test everything you've learned about the combat of this tactical RPG title. Minions that come to Aurora's aid make this not only a strong boss battle, but also an intense ambush that poses a huge threat to every character you control.

A Baldur’s Gate 3 writer has reflected on Larian Studios’ decision to include a tribute in the game to a fan’s father who has Alzheimers, and said they’re “really happy we got to honour the mighty mindflayer hunter.”
