Latest Games
The multi-award winning RPG Baldur’s Gate 3 released to the mortal plane. Fill your mantelpiece with feelies while you fill your heart with adventure. Gather your party and return to the Forgotten Realms in a tale of fellowship and betrayal, sacrifice and survival, and the lure of absolute power. Mysterious abilities are awakening inside you, drawn from a mind flayer parasite planted in your brain. Resist, and turn darkness against itself. Or embrace corruption, and become ultimate evil. Choose from 12 classes and 11 races from the D&D Player's Handbook and create your own identity, or play as an Origin hero with a hand-crafted background. Or tangle with your inner corruption as the Dark Urge, a fully customisable Origin hero with its own unique mechanics and story. Whoever you choose to be, adventure, loot, battle and romance your way across the Forgotten Realms and beyond. Gather your party. Take the adventure online as a party of up to four.
The Digital Deluxe Edition upgrade content includes in-game cosmetics, such as a unique custom dice skin to show off to your friends, as well as practical in-game items such as the Mask of the Shapeshifter from Divinity: Original Sin 2. Listen to the magical music of Borislav Slavov’s Original Soundtrack for Baldur’s Gate 3 or even pick up a pen and play D&D as one of our Origin characters with the handy printable pre-made character sheets. There’s plenty to get stuck into, in and outside of the game.
