Baldur’s Gate 3 Officially Returning With A New Release

Baldur’s Gate 3 remains one of the most popular and captivating RPGs ever created, with players still enjoying its massive world and characters even years after its release. While many players have accepted that Larian Studios is moving on from BG3, that doesn’t mean there won’t be any more content from the IP at all.

According to a new announcement (via X), Baldur’s Gate 3 fans have a brand-new, officially licensed release coming up as soon as this year. While details are sparse, it features one of the game’s most iconic characters, and hardcore fans will definitely want to keep this one on their radar.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Fans Rejoice, Shadowheart Is Back

A fan-favorite Baldur’s Gate 3 character, Shadowheart, is officially making an epic return this year with the release of the Good Smile Company’s Nendoroid Shadowheart figurine. These figures are highly sought-after collectibles that fans of the Baldur’s Gate 3 franchise only get on rare occasions, with the Astarion figure releasing several months ago.

There are very few details on the release of the new Shadowheart Nendoroid other than a silhouette image posted to Good Smile Company’s social media accounts. However, fans are already rejoicing over the announcement, with many players hoping for further reveals of other beloved characters such as Lae’zel, Karlach, and more.

Baldur’s Gate 3’s Cast Of Characters Is Universally Beloved

There may not be a more universally beloved cast of characters than the lineup for Baldur’s Gate 3, with each character bringing their own unique traits, attitude, and personality to the game. These are characters that have become close to every fan’s heart after spending hours upon hours with them exploring the game and discovering their intricate backstories.

While it’s unclear exactly what Baldur’s Gate 4 will end up looking like without Larian behind the wheel, it certainly has massive shoes to fill in terms of character development. It’s hard to imagine a set of new characters as strongly written and fully developed as the cast of Baldur’s Gate 3, though the prospect of a sequel taking things to the next level is quite exciting.

While the new Nendoroid Shadowheart figure isn’t going to be as exciting for all fans as a new DLC or additional Baldur’s Gate 3 content from Larian Studios, it goes to show just how popular these characters are among players. Fans of the franchise interested in expanding their BG3 collection will definitely want to keep their ear to the ground for more details on the Nendoroid’s release as they become available later this year.
