Baldur's Gate 3 has been a massive success. Over 20 years after the release of Baldur's Gate 2, the newest game in the classic RPG series is a triumphant 100+ hour adventure with an instantly-beloved cast of new characters and some cameos from old favorites.
Developed by Larian Studios, which is known for its Divinity series of RPGs, Baldur's Gate 3 is a turn-based RPG based on the Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition ruleset. It tells the story of a mind flayer invasion and the unlikely team of heroes (and anti heroes) who work together to save the world from a squid-brained fate.
