Each year at E3 is a segment called the PC Gaming Show and this is where game developers as well as hardware developers announce the latest games and tech for PC gaming. Presented by PC Gamer Magazine, this year’s show is set to showcase over 25 games which is huge! To add to the hype, we will be able to hear from Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke and Wizards of the Coast President Chris Cocks about their latest title which was announced this week, Baldur’s Gate III! It’s been 18 years since Baldur’s Gate II was released in 2001 and I can’t wait to hear more as Larian Studios will bring a lot to the series, having successful RPG games such as 2014’s Divinity: Original Sin and it’s amazing 2017 sequel. ***Graphic content warning for the trailer below***
