After launching into Early Access in 2020, Larian has been quietly working away on Baldur’s Gate 3 to get it ready for full release. While initially the studio was aiming for a 2022 release window, the developers now have their sights set on 2023 for the full game, and a proper release date will be announced soon.
Larian hinted that this would be the case back in February, saying that “our expectation is that Baldur's Gate 3 will release out of Early Access in 2023”. The studio followed that up again with confirmation that the game will leave Early Access in 2023.
We've had a few months of quiet since then, but that will soon change. Larian will be announcing the release date for Baldur's Gate 3 when Patch 9 begins rolling out next month. This patch will add a bunch of new features to the game, so those who have been following along since the early days should be tempted to dive back in for more.
Right now, Larian is playtesting the final two story acts for the game. If all goes well, we could see Baldur's Gate 3 getting a release date in the first half of next year.
