The Baldur’s Gate 3 release date window has been revealed to be August 2023 at The Game Awards 2022. Developed by Larian Studios, Baldur’s Gate 3 showed off a short, two-minute trailer at the event, showing off its story about mind parasites and The Cult of the Absolute. Darn mind flayers! Better yet, the Baldur’s Gate 3 Collector’s Edition was also unveiled near the end of the trailer, but the price tag for it is quite high at $269.99.
