“Gather your party – Baldur’s Gate 3 launches August 2023. New sights and surprises abound in this trailer,” offers Larian Studios, the maker of the game.

“More good news,” states the studio. “Baldur’s Gate 3 Collector’s Edition is available to pre-order now! It’s a treasure trove of items for the adventurer in you, and it’s limited to 25k copies worldwide. Take a closer look at what’s inside and secure your Collector’s Edition here.”

The first 15k orders of the Baldur’s Gate 3 Collector’s Edition will also receive three Magic: The Gathering booster packs containing the Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur’s Gate card set featuring characters from Baldur’s Gate 3.

The Collector’s Edition also features a battle diorama of a mind flayer and a drow locked in a deadly exchange of blade and psionic might; a hardcover art book written by Larian; a tadpole-inspired metal keyring; an oversized custom-engraved 20D metal die; a single-sided, A3 cloth map of Faerûn; character sheets; 32 die-cut vinyl stickers inspired by the game, and a certificate of authenticity serialized with the unique number of your Collector’s Edition.   

While the launch is in August, there’s plenty more to unwrap before the year is out.
