Baldur's Gate 3 was announced in 2019 as an exclusive to Google's cloud streaming service, Stadia. It is the latest effort by IP owner Wizards of the Coast to make the most of the Dungeons and Dragons franchise

The firm has also recently opened a brand new studio in Austin, Texas called Archetype. This is being headed up by BioWare vet James Ohlen, with the outfit attracting a wealth of talent from the Mass Effect and Dragon Age maker recently

Baldur's Gate 3 is being developed by Larian Studios, best known for the Divinity: Original Sin games. Fellow RPG specialists Obsidian and InXile both pitched to work on this new entry in the popular series, too.
