Baldur’s Gate 3 Skyrocketing to the top of the Steam bestseller list, beating out some big-name titles.
These games include Elden Ring, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Cyberpunk 2077, among others. According to PCgamesN, the game is currently ranked fifth, up 22 spots since last week.
The renewed interest in the game may be thanks to last week’s Larian’s Last From Hell panel showcase. During the stream, the studio showed off new customization options, a new murderous origin character called “Dark Impulse,” and some new romance options.
One of the options shown starred the druid Halsin and the high elf thief Astarion. In this scene, Halsin becomes overexcited and wildly transforms into a bear. It feels a little awkward, and thanks to the dialogue options, you can assure your druid friends that everything is fine and that you’re fully invested in it. The panel’s live audience picks up on that particular line of dialogue, leading Astarion to allow Halsin to transform back into a bear, and romance ensues.
We won’t have to wait long for our bear love, as Baldur’s Gate 3 launches on PC on August 3rd. PlayStation 5 players will have to wait a little longer for it to arrive on September 6th. , unfortunately for Xbox, the situation is even further away. Hopefully, the issues with the Xbox Series X/S versions will soon be a thing of the past.
