Baldur's Gate 3's release date report points to early December launch
UPDATE: Larian responds.
UPDATE 5/11/23: Larian's Michael Douse has responded to reports that Baldur's Gate 3 is coming to Xbox on 6th December.
In response to a X post from Eurogamer, Douse said: "News to me".
Original story follows.
ORIGINAL STORY 3/11/23: Baldur's Gate 3 will be released on Xbox on 6th December, 2023.
That's according to noted leaker eXtas1s, who says that "if playtests proceed as planned", this date is "what Larian has targeted for the game's Xbox version at the moment".
As noted by r/GamingLeaksandRumours, eXtas1s has a pretty good track record for breaking release dates ahead of announcements, and had previously given us Forza Motorsport's street date before Xbox formally confirmed it.
As always, this announcement comes with the usual caveats and cannot be taken as gospel until we get formal confirmation, but if you've been patiently awaiting the Xbox debut, you might want to book some leave in advance in early December. You know. Just in case.
Baldur's Gate 3 players have devised a way to recruit an evil companion on a good playthrough by turning her into a sheep. Yeah, you read that right.Earlier today, our Bertie pulled back the covers and showed us his dark side in his new feature, all about being the big bad in Baldur's Gate 3, whilst earlier in the week, we saw the arrival of Patch 4, which - as with previous patches - is so chunky, it has exceeded Steam's text limit.
With this update in play, those making their way through the game's many acts can expect to see many improvements across the board, but some particular highlights include the ability to now customise hirelings' appearance when recruiting them and the addition of a colour blind mode.
