Larian Studios Reveals First Gameplay Footage, Opening Cinematic of ‘Baldur’s Gate III’

Published

Larian Studios have followed through on their scheduled reveal of Baldur’s Gate III, not only gifting fans the first gameplay footage of the RPG, but also sharing a few details of the game, including the confirmation that the game will see an Early Access release.

For starters, the story for Baldur’s Gate III has the appearance of a new force in the world of the Forgotten Realms: the cult of the Absolute. Seeking to overthrow the old order, its shadowy network is chipping away at the Forgotten Realms foundations. Baldur’s Gate itself will be the first to fall.

Out of nowhere, you are kidnapped by mind flayers. A tadpole was put in your head. Upon escaping, you find ourself stranded in the middle of an inhospitable wilderness. You have only a few days to get rid of the parasite inside, or you’ll become mind flayers yourself. Desperately seek a cure, you discover the tadpole gives you godlike powers. You also find yourself centre stage of a plot hatched by none other than the Dead Three: the gods of Murder, Tyranny, and Death.

The question is, do you resist, and turn evil against itself. Or embrace corruption, and lay claim to the Forgotten Realms?

Baldur’s Gate III is currently being developed for PC and Google Stadia.

Come Face to Face With the Zombie Menace in the Story Trailer for ‘Zombie Army VR’ [Watch]

While there’s no definitive release date just yet, Rebellion is teasing fans with a new story trailer for the upcoming Zombie Army VR, which is expected to arrive later this year. The new trailer gives fans and prospective players a glimpse at the Zombie Army VR story campaign, which as you might have guessed, involves occult magic, waves of zombies, and plenty of headshots.

The game’s campaign takes place alongside the events of the Zombie Army series, and sees you take to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad that is hunting down zombie war criminals. You must fight your way through undead hordes near the bombed-out city of Nuremberg to help Captain Hermann Wolff, the Deadhunter’s legendary leader, find his scattered family and fight to free Europe from the zombie apocalypse.

As you navigate the full-length story campaign either alone or with an ally, you’ll have access to an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry, including sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols and more. As one would expect, VR brings a new level of immersion to the action of the Zombie Army series, which will require you to “get to grips” with using your hands to aim your rifle, dual-wield your side arm with a submachine gun, master reloading drills, and tossing grenades.

Zombie Army VR is currently in development for the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro, Oculus Rift and PC headsets via Steam.
