WotC Baldur's Gate III Announced; Powered by D&D 5E

The developers of the Divinity: Original Sin series, Laria Studios, officially announced Baldur’s Gate III.
The new game will use the D&D 5th Edition rules as the backbone for their system and the storyline will be set directly after the events in the upcoming adventure Baldur’s Gate: Descent into Avernus. The game will be released on PC and the new Google Stadia video game streaming service. The announcement came with a teaser trailer below. More information is expected at the video game and electronics conference E3 next week.

The game isn't quite available for pre-order, but you can add it to your wishlist on Steam. The Steam listing also gives some idea of the features and gameplay options, as it lists Single Player, Multi-Player, Online Multiplayer, Local Multiplayer, Co-Op, Online Co-Op, Local Co-Op, Shared/Split Screen, and Cross-Platform Multiplayer.

The announcement follows a tease last week with an image of the stylized "III" which left the title of the game as part of the filename.

Warning: The trailer features some gruesome imagery which may not be suitable for all audiences and is definitely NSFW.

I think it's a mistake to ignore the Mac audience on this one. There is a massive new audience playing 5e, far beyond the traditional gamer demographic that was overwhelmingly likely to own a PC.

AAA games and Mac have never had a great relationship, so this shouldn't be a surprise. However, there's alway this.
 

I'm been saying the PHB and more will be in this game. And Warlocks have been canon since 3.5e and the current form of Dragonborn since 4e (3.5e had a very different sort of Dragonborn).

I see the PHB opinions outside of a few hard to implement spells will be in this game at minium, but I think almost everything Sub/race, Sub/Class, Background, FR Deities, Spells, Feats, race variants, will be in.

Why do people persist in setting themselves up to be disappointed? You would think they would have learned by now.

Better to keep expectations modest, then you have a chance of being pleasantly surprised if they are exceeded.

I keep thinking the same thing.

I expect that google stadia will eventually be available on macs, so mac users will be able to play the game even if they don't have a gaming computer.
