Baldur’s Gate 3 Early Access might launch in August

During the Guerilla Collective Showcase, Larian Studios shared the release date window for Baldur's Gate 3 to hit Early Access, alongside a new trailer highlighting some aspects of the game, and a new community update where Swen Vinke provided details on the current state of development.

We previously reported that more details about Baldur's Gate 3 were planned to be shared on June 6th, during the Guerilla Collective Showcase. However, this event was postponed until June 13th due to the current protests that have been taking place.

The first part of the new trailer for Baldur's Gate 3 gives us a new glimpse of some characters, the story, and the setting of the game. Additionally, the trailer also shows the planned release date for the game's Early Access, currently set for “maybe” August 2020, for both Stadia and Steam.

Swen Vinke, the founder of Larian Studios, explained the “maybe” part of that release date, saying the Covid-19 pandemic caused some issues that slowed down the game's development. Depending on how fast the studio can make up for the lost time, the release date may change. Vinke also told us about the current state of the game, including the upgraded visuals, story, combat, and other core systems. Lastly, it was revealed that we can expect to see more of Baldur's Gate 3 at Dungeons & Dragons Live, scheduled for June 18th.

You can learn more about Baldur's Gate 3 on its Steam page.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
