Larian Studios, the developer behind the highly anticipated RPG Baldur’s Gate 3, has announced its short-term update roadmap for the game on PC. This news is important for PlayStation fans as the plan is to ensure parity between the two platforms at launch and beyond.
In a recent update, Larian Boss Swenn Vincke shared the roadmap on Twitter, stating that the team is focused on fixing any issues reported by players. The roadmap includes a hotfix, followed by Patch 1 which will contain over 1000 fixes and tweaks, and finally, Patch 2 which will incorporate some requested features. This has raised hopes among players for the ability to change their character’s appearance, among other desired additions.
However, Larian Studios recently faced a setback when they had to roll back Hotfix 4 after discovering a rare compiler issue. This left players who had already updated their save in a difficult position, unable to continue. The studio apologized for the inconvenience and commended its Canadian and Malaysian teams for swiftly identifying and resolving the issue. Hotfix 4 has since been redeployed, and the incident has prompted Larian to revamp its patch deployment process to ensure a smoother experience for players when Baldur’s Gate 3 launches on PlayStation 5 on September 6th.
Despite this setback, many players have reported a relatively bug-free experience with the game. Larian Studios has gained praise for its dedication to improving the game and assisting players. They have even gone so far as to individually fix Redditors’ save files to ensure they can continue playing.
Baldur’s Gate 3 continues to generate excitement among fans, and Larian Studios’ commitment to addressing issues and implementing player feedback only adds to the anticipation. As the game inches closer to its launch on PlayStation 5, players can expect a more polished and immersive gaming experience.
Khayl Adam, an esteemed video game journalist from Australia, comments on the game and praises Larian Studios’ dedication to enhancing player experience. His own affinity for strategy games and CRPGs makes him appreciate the efforts put into Baldur’s Gate 3.
