Baldur’s Gate III is coming to Steam Early Access in 2020 as it quests for the high ground

Baldur’s Gate III is following the lead of the Divinity: Original Sin series, debuting on Steam Early Access sometime this year, and it’s also showing off its first chunk of gameplay.

Larian Studios revealed this info (it said in a few months, but nothing’s confirming this yet) during a special press event last week. In it, Larian boss Swen Vinke first showed off an impressive trailer with a Mind Flayer Nautiloid (a flying ship) abducting prisoners while an Illithid on board implanted tadpoles in their heads. Githyanki portal in, riding red dragons, and attack, with the wyrms ripping open holes in the Nautiloid’s hull and breathing fire inside it. The ship portals out, and the Githyanki and dragons give chase, going through the Shadowfell (another plane) and other regions of Faerûn before crashing to the ground.
