Elementary, my dear TavBaldur's Gate 3 is still a ways away. But for those who want a little bit of the world before August arrives, Larian Studios is hosting an online murder-mystery RPG called Blood in Baldur's Gate leading up to release.
Set 15 years before (https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1086940/view/6625405551529612836) the events of Baldur's Gate 3, Blood In Baldur's Gate sees the city dealing with a series of killings. With a scarce trail of hints and info to go on, players will need to figure out how and why the killings are happening, before the culprit strikes again.

To do so, players can investigate different areas of the map, by voting where to head next. So far, only a handful have been unlocked. But the idea seems to be that players can theorize, decide amongst themselves, and determine the course of the investigation through democratic means.
It's a fun experiment, and I'm curious to see how it ties into the full Baldur's Gate release. Seeing as there's a decent amount of time between this murder mystery and the start of Baldur's Gate 3, it could encompass a number of aspects, from the new game or its predecessors.
Return to Baldur's GateAfter many years, the Baldur's Gate series returns under Larian Studios. The Divinity development house has been steadily working on the massive RPG for a few years now, and the full release is set to launch (https://www.destructoid.com/baldurs-gate-3-ps5-release-date-announcement-trailer/) on August 31 for PC and PlayStation 5.
Notably, Xbox is not out of the picture. Larian is working on it, but isn't quite ready (https://www.destructoid.com/baldurs-gate-3-xbox-comments-release-development/) to make an announcement as of yet. Still, with Final Fantasy XVI out this week and Baldur's Gate 3 in August, with Starfield just beyond it, RPG fans certainly have a lot to look forward to.
