In just a few months, Baldur’s Gate 3 has evolved significantly and gained new aspects. And one of them could also announce a new feature that is eagerly awaited by players.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a steamroller that confirmed its popularity at the 2023 Game Awards. During the ceremony, the Belgian role-playing game left six statuettes, including that of the “Game of the Year”. The ultimate reward that the developers accepted with big smiles and tears of joy. On the other hand, there wasn’t the surprise that some players wanted.
A big teaser for what’s to come for Baldur’s Gate 3?
As it stands, Baldur’s Gate 3 is an extremely generous game that stands on its own. This is even more true after the release of the colossal Patch 5, which, among other things, adds new epilogues that take place six months after the game’s first events. And one of these alternative conclusions could be much more important than it seems. Be careful explaining the possible problems with this result, we will be forced to spoil it!!
Last warning !!
The epilogue of Baldur’s Gate 3, which has been the subject of discussion for several hours, is the one in which the NPC Withers organizes a party. Meanwhile, the character speaks with a toast, appearing to send a message directly to the players. “Listen to me, heroes, good-for-nothing friends. I have waited a long time to say these words to you. It’s over…for now. Sleep, rest and enjoy. But be ready, because you may still be needed.”. For some, th is is a taste of future BG3 DLC.
So when will there be additional content or expansions for Baldur’s Gate 3? Last October, Swen Vincke, founder and CEO of Larian Studios, set things straight. According to him, work on a DLC has not yet begun, but the idea has not been definitively ruled out. “To be honest, we haven’t started working on an expansion yet. I know what we want to do and the team also knows which direction we are going. We’ll see where this takes us. But it wouldn’t be long..
BG3 finally available for Xbox Series X|S
In the words of Swen Vincke, it is therefore difficult to know whether any of the new epilogues serve as a teaser for a Baldur’s Gate 3 DLC. In any case, the developers have warned: there will only be an expansion if it is relevant. And also that they manage to do something without disturbing the balance of things. In fact, one of the concerns raised is that the player is too powerful, which would limit interest in additional content.
« Level 12-20 adventures require a different approach to the antagonists to face, which requires a lot of development work to get right. This is much more than just an expansion of the development effort.” Swen Vincke explained. We’ll see how this all turns out, but let’s wait and see, a nice surprise was revealed at the Game Awards 2023. The Xbox Series X|S version was launched online during the ceremony and is now available in two editions. The Basic costs $69.99 and the Digital Deluxe costs $79.99.
