Watch the excellent cinematic opening and gameplay demo for Baldur’s Gate 3

Mind Flayers, Dragons and Gith! Oh my!

The wonderfully creepy and action packed cinematic opening for Baldur’s Gate 3 has been released and it is fantastic.

The Illithids have learnt how to fly their Nautiloid ships once more and decide to go flying around the Forgotten Realms.

You begin the game as a survivor of one of their crashed ships but with an Illithid larvae in your head meaning you will eventually turn into a Mind Flayer unless you get it removed.

Baldur’s Gate III is an upcoming role-playing video game developed and published by Larian Studios for Microsoft Windows and the Stadia streaming service. It is the third main game in the Baldur’s Gate series, itself based on the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop role-playing system.
