Baldur’s Gate 3 has been released on Xbox Series X|S. The hit fantasy game was surprise dropped last night (December 7) during The Game Awards 2023.Baldur’s Gate 3, which is based on the long-running tabletop role-playing game (RPG) Dungeons & Dragons, was released on PC back in August, with a PlayStation version following in September.

Baldur’s Gate 3’s companion characters came together to play a one-shot campaign of Dungeons & Dragons which was livestreamed this weekend.Hosted by Mark Hulmes of High Rollers Dungeons & Dragons, the scene was set by Amelia Tyler, who voices the narrator of Baldur’s Gate 3. Then, Theo Solomon as Wyll, Samantha Béart as Karlach, Jennifer English as Shadowheart, Devora Wilde as Lae’zel, Neil Newbon as Astarion and Tim Downie as Gale started their adventure without the player’s input.The premise was that the custom character that the player pilots, normally named Tav, was stuck in a paralysis spell that none of their companions could cure. As a result, they were left to their own ends, spelling a variety of chaotic events like Shadowheart adopting an Imp which she named Bing Bong to Lae’zel’s chagrin.In fact, Solomon’s actions as Wyll were the anchor that prevented the rest of the characters from strolling into harm’s way.
