Elementary, my dear Tav
Baldur’s Gate 3is still a ways away. But for those who want a little bit of the world before August arrives, Larian Studios is hosting an online murder-mystery RPG calledBlood in Baldur’s Gateleading up to release.
Set15 years beforethe events ofBaldur’s Gate 3,Blood In Baldur’s Gatesees the city dealing with a series of killings. With a scarce trail of hints and info to go on, players will need to figure out how and why the killings are happening, before the culprit strikes again.
To do so, players can investigate different areas of the map, by voting where to head next. So far, only a handful have been unlocked. But the idea seems to be that players can theorize, decide amongst themselves, and determine the course of the investigation through democratic means.
It’s a fun experiment, and I’m curious to see how it ties into the fullBaldur’s Gaterelease. Seeing as there’s a decent amount of time between this murder mystery and the start ofBaldur’s Gate 3, it could encompass a number of aspects, from the new game or its predecessors.
Return toBaldur’s Gate
After many years, theBaldur’s Gateseries returns under Larian Studios. TheDivinitydevelopment house has been steadily working on the massive RPG for a few years now, and the full release isset to launchon August 31 for PC and PlayStation 5.
Notably, Xbox is not out of the picture. Larian is working on it, butisn’t quite readyto make an announcement as of yet. Still, withFinal Fantasy XVIout this week andBaldur’s Gate 3in August, withStarfieldjust beyond it, RPG fans certainly have a lot to look forward to.
