Baldur’s Gate 3: Forsaken Officially Revealed With New Content

Baldur’s Gate 3: Forsaken has officially been announced, adding what Game Rant calls “tons of new content” to Larian Studios’ beloved CRPG. This news arrives for a game that boasts an impressive 97 Metacritic score and a 96% positive rating from 506,882 Steam reviews.

Details are sparse right now. While the sources confirm the reveal and the extent of the new content, they don’t specify a release date, pricing, platform availability, or the development team behind it. Game Rant’s URL hint relates to a custom campaign mod, but the snippets available don’t clarify who’s making it or how players will get it.

Consider these points unverified until a formal announcement or the complete Game Rant report sheds light on them. We’ll keep this story updated as more information becomes available.

The timing aligns well with the game’s ongoing popularity. Baldur’s Gate 3 launched on August 3, 2023, and currently has 31,777 players online. It’s rare for RPGs to maintain such a large audience years after their release, and fresh campaign content will likely entice returning players to dive back in.

Larian is also continuing to support the game. Recently, they added Halloween content to the console version. Plus, a canceled Mass Effect project reportedly used BG3 as a blueprint, according to recent reports. Baldur’s Gate 3 is now influencing how other studios approach high-budget RPGs.

The reveal has also caught the attention of OpenCritic, which compiles critic reviews for the game. This shows how widely the news has spread beyond just the modding community.
