Larian Studios, the developer behind Baldur’s Gate 3, is expressing gratitude towards the game’s community by offering exclusive holiday content and unveiling plans for upcoming merchandise following the game’s wins at The Game Awards 2023.
Since its release in August, Baldur’s Gate 3 has captivated RPG and Dungeons & Dragons enthusiasts with its rich lore, immersive gameplay, and engaging NPCs. In a gesture of appreciation to its dedicated player base, Larian Studios has prepared special holiday-themed content for Baldur’s Gate 3 aficionados.
The studio announced “A Very Baldur’s Gate Christmas,” an interactive advent calendar browser game. This game unfolds a rhyming Christmas carol-style story across 12 chapters—one for each day leading up to Christmas Eve. Each chapter presents a card-matching memory game, offering players the chance to uncover festive stories woven around the creatures and characters in Baldur’s Gate 3. The advent calendar experience began on December 13, with a new chapter unlocking each day and the possibility of hidden prizes and rewards for players who complete the memory game challenges.
Additionally, Larian’s Director of Publishing announced the imminent launch of official Baldur’s Gate 3 merchandise. The initial offerings will include logo shirts available on the BG3 website in the upcoming week, with more diverse products slated for release in 2024. Fans can expect designs created by Larian’s in-house team as well as collaborative designs from fans closely working with the studio.
These initiatives reflect Larian’s commitment to its players, fostering a positive relationship with the community. At a time when controversies in the gaming industry, like The Day Before, have left players questioning the bond between companies and their audience, Larian’s actions underscore the importance of dedication and respect toward players. As the holiday season approaches, Baldur’s Gate 3 enthusiasts can engage in “A Very Baldur’s Gate Christmas” on the official website and keep an eye out for the upcoming merchandise to further celebrate their love for the game.
