Baldur’s Gate 3 has been in early access for a couple of years now, but looks to be on track for its full launch in 2023. Larian Studios announces Update 9 will be coming in December.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is “On Track” for Leaving Early Access in 2023, Next Major Update Releases December

Larian Studios have announced recently that their turn-based RPG Baldur’s Gate 3 which is currently in early access is on track for its full launch next year in 2023. But you won’t have to wait long for more content as the next major update will be rolling out in December. The title first launched in early access in October 2020, but is scheduled to release sometime in 2023. The next Panel of Hell will be taking place before the end of the year, described as a “festive” edition. In the Community Update that will release alongside the panel, it will go over what’s to come in 2023.

As for the current state of the game, the studio has been working on playtesting Acts 2 and 3. But there is much more slated for the BG3. The developer has shared their aim is for even those who have already played Act 1, to feel like they are having a fresh experience when the game fully launches. The team has been taking player feedback since the get-go, and have thanked current players for their patience in the run-up to Update 9. If you’re itching to play the game, the early access version is currently available on Steam. It’s roughly one-third of the full game according to the devs, so there will be plenty to look forward to next year.

Larian gave a quick behind-the-scenes last week, showing off what goes into motion capture for the game:
