Humble Bundle Has Jumped on the Baldur's Gate Hype
To celebrate the release of Baldur's Gate 3, Humble Bundle has launched the Baldur's Gate and Beyond bundle. This bundle includes the first two Baldur's Gate games as well as some of the best RPGs, like Neverwinter Nights, Planescape Torment, and Icewind Dale. While some of these games are dated, they are all worth the price of admission. Countless hours of content are waiting for anyone willing to dive in, but players only have until August 10 to add them to their collection.
Baldur's Gate 3 may have taken the series to the next level, but the original two games are still fantastic RPGs. The first game was critically acclaimed when it launched in 1998, and players who purchase this bundle will get the most complete version available. Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition offers over 75 hours' worth of story, a wide variety of customization options, and many upgrades that help make this classic game feel modern.
Baldur's Gate 2 continued this exciting series and was once again met with universal praise upon release. It showed RPG fans that this series was here to stay and helped cement Bioware as a genre kingpin. It took the concept and made it even bigger with hundreds of hours of content waiting to be explored, and the enhanced edition only makes the game stronger. Both games are considered some of the best RPGs ever made, and Baldur's Gate 3 fans may want to take them for a spin.
The Baldur's Gate and Beyond bundle also includes a plethora of other RPG experiences for players to enjoy. It includes all the major Baldur's Gate expansion packs as well as other RPG titles that are disconnected from the series. Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous lets players blaze their own trail in the world of Pathfinder, Neverwinter Nights: Complete Adventures gives Dungeons and Dragons fans over 100 hours of content to enjoy, Planescape Torment: Enhanced Edition lets players check out a classic 50-hour adventure, and Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition continues the RPG fun with even more exciting fantasy content.
The Baldur's Gate and Beyond bundle has enough content that players may be adventuring through fantasy worlds for the rest of 2023. The quality of the games and the low price make this bundle very hard to pass up, and it feels like the perfect companion to Baldur's Gate 3. Anyone who is interested needs to make sure they pick it up as soon as possible since it will be gone once August 10 rolls around. While it may return one day, interested players may not want to risk it.
Baldur's Gate 3 is available now for PC. The PlayStation 5 version will be available on September 6th, 2023. A version for Xbox Series X/S is still in development.
