D&D General New Baldur's Gate III Teaser Trailer

Larian Studios posted a teaser trailer for Baldur's Gate III on Twitter, showing off both apparent cutscene and gameplay footage.

​

The trailer ends with the statement "Join us on the road to Baldur's Gate Starting June 6" This date is the first date of the Guerrilla Collective Indie Game Showcase, taking place online from June 6-8. Larian Studios is a participant in the event and previously promised Baldur's Gate III news at the showcase. This statement lends further credence to industry speculation that the big announcement will be the date of early access, and it may hint that early access will start on June 6. But it looks like we still have another week before we know for sure.

It's interesting that the gameplay looks more akin to one of Larian Studio's Divinity Original Sin games rather then the typical top-down perspective of the original Baldur's Gate and most other CRPG's in the genre but that is to be expected I suppose. Until we get a full combat trailer or full gameplay trailer I suppose we won't know for sure.

Still the game looks to be worth keeping an eye on, even if just for game historical reasons, and I look forward to seeing if it can live up to it's legacy.

Have you seen the demo presentation of a couple of months ago?

Not sure what you mean here. Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights, Fallout, Planescape, etc. were all isometric games just like the more modern Divinity, Pillars of Eternity, Torment, etc.

Looks great. Need more!

Looking forward to it. I bought DOS II quite a while back when it was on sale and just recently made time to play. Like the game, looking forward to what they can do with all they've learned and a bigger budget.

To me it looks a lot like the old school Baldur's Gates games to me updated with modern graphics.

That statue falling/not really falling in response to an arrow was cringeworthy. Excited otherwise, but yikes to that.

Maybe their statues are made of a very weak substance? (JK, it was kind of cringy)
