Baldur's Gate 3 "unlikely" to be released this year says Larian

I hate to break it to you but Baldur’s Gate 3 probably isn’t going to be fully released in 2022. Remember, a part of the game has been available in early access on GOG, Steam and Stadia since autumn 2020.

“We think we’re in our last year of development,” Swen Vincke, founder of Larian and creative director of BG3, told me in an interview last week.

“We do still think we have a year of development ahead of us, so it’s unlikely it will be this year [2022]. But we are at the end, so we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel now. We have a pretty concrete plan.”

In an adjoining press release, received today, Larian added: “Our internal goal post for release is a quality bar rather than a date. A ton of progress has been made towards that quality bar over the past year in Early Access, but we know many players are waiting for an actual date. That date will come when we’re even closer to meeting our goal, but right now our expectation is that Baldur’s Gate 3 will be released out of Early Access in 2023.”
