Larian Studios has announced that it has encountered production issues with the console Deluxe Editions of Baldur’s Gate 3, and is delaying their shipment.
The studio stated that the production issues are out of its control, and that all Xbox orders, as well as PS5 orders in North America, were affected. As such, there’s going to be a bit of a wait for them to ship out. Larian also clarified that all Deluxe Edition orders for PC have been shipped out, and PS5 orders for Oceania and Europe will start shipping this week.
In some more good news, all Deluxe Edition orders are expected to ship within the month of May, and Larian will provide an update on additional shipping dates next week.
The Deluxe Edition includes a digital soundtrack, artbook, and character sheets along with in-game items like a dice skin, Divinity item pack, Paintings from Rivellon, an Adventurer’s pouch, and the Bard song pack. The game itself ships on two discs for PS5 and three discs for Xbox.
Larian has confirmed that it’s not working on Baldur’s Gate 4, but CEO Swen Vincke believes that the next two separate projects could be the studio’s best work ever. Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast are looking to continue the series and find the right partner for the next game, even if it takes a while.
