Baldur’s Gate 3 gets a surprise official cartoon to celebrate its PlayStation 5 release


Mashed — an animation channel on YouTube identified for producing online game parodies — have launched a brand new Baldur’s Gate 3 quick in collaboration with Larian Studios, to collectively rejoice the sport leaving early entry on PC and launching on PS5.

This follows on from a earlier BG3 cartoon collaboration between Mashed, Larian, and PC Gamer again in June, which was proven as a part of this summer season’s PC Gaming Present at Not-E3.

This time round Wyll and Lae’zel have left the celebration — I am guessing maybe their voice actors had different commitments, since these cartoons characteristic the work of the official recreation VAs all through, performing authentic dialogue written for the skits.

On the plus aspect, we have gained the corporate of pretty Karlach, who joins Astarion, Gale, and Shadowheart as they encounter a glowing portal that they speculate may result in some form of zeitgeisty multiverse crossover disaster setting. Or may simply be the trail out of early entry. Or each. Who is aware of! You will have to observe the quick and discover out:


Judging by the feedback on the video, I am not the one Baldur’s Gate 3 fan who’d fortunately watch a complete sequence of non-canon comedy shenanigans like this starring everybody’s favorite band of plucky tadpole infectees. It is like a Saturday morning cartoon for adults, with gags about Astarion gleefully murdering individuals and Karlach exhibiting off her sizzling bod.

The voice actors are clearly having a ton of enjoyable taking their characters even much less significantly than traditional, and we’re certainly lengthy overdue a brand new Dungeons & Dragons cartoon sequence, aren’t we? Rattling, I’ve talked myself into it and now I would like it so badly.


Baldur’s Gate 3 left early entry on Steam on August third, and was launched on PlayStation 5 on September sixth. An Xbox Sequence X/S port is anticipated by the top of November.
