True, but each of them will take time to design, balance for gameplay, and implement. So I imagine that while we'll probably see a fairly wide array of options, likely much of the stuff from the PHB, they'll probably push some of the more esoteric and/or difficult-to-implement options to the inevitable expansions/sequels simply due to time constraints.

(That's not to say we'll only see PHB options at first - some classes, like ranger or sorcerer, could really use some post-PHB options)

I'd love to see Shadow Magic, Storm Magic, and Divine Soul for Sorcerers, Horizon Walker, Gloom Stalker for Rangers. Because it's so iconic FR Purple Dragon Knight might be in as well. It all depends on how hard it is to impliment subclasses.

For Races I think Aasimar will be in because I think they tie to the BG: DIA book some how, which is why they don't count as PHB +1 for Season 9.

Heads up everyone...the logo at the Larian studio website now shows an animation that shows tentacles wrapping around the numerals. Mind flayers, kraken, I’m guessing there is more to come.

I inspected the source and it says Kraken. Maybe the Kraken Society will be the big villains?

That is a great point. Or at least one of the major villians.

It also mentions Tako. Playable Tako would be different. At the very least the aquatic them might suggest Tritons, Genasi, Lizardfolk, and Sea Elves as plqyable options.

Um... This article looks like it was written by an algorithm. A very poor algorithm. Treat it as spam and move on.

There are rumours that there will be more info about Baldurs Gate 3 next week on a Google Stadia (their game streaming service) show on the 6th.
Thats the only connection between BG and Google I can think of.

Being a huge fan of Larian (backed three games in KS so far), this excites me to no end.

Could there be a BG III kickstarter?

No, Hasbro won't allow Kickstarters for their IPs.

And the timescale doesn't fit. If this is to come out anything like September this year, it much have been in development for a couple of years already.
