Overview: Baldur’s Gate III is the third entry in the acclaimed RPG series set in the Forgotten Realms, developed by Larian Studios. The game, which launched in Early Access on September 30, 2020, for Windows and is set to release fully in 2021, brings players back to the richly detailed world of Baldur’s Gate, now available on Xbox Series X/S.
Story: Set approximately a century after the events of Throne of Bhaal, the game takes place in a world under siege by Mind Flayers. These malevolent creatures have infected the citizens of Baldur’s Gate, including the player character and their companions, with a parasite that gradually turns its host into a Mind Flayer. Unlike other victims, the protagonist and their party gain extraordinary abilities due to this infection. Unraveling the mystery of the parasite and its larger implications is central to the game’s plot, with the resolution influenced by player choices.
