96 Baldur's Gate 3

Out tbd for PC and Google Stadia. While a 2020 release date is far from guaranteed, its inclusion among the first titles announced for Google's Stadia service has fans hopeful that the long-awaited sequel to the classic 2000 RPG Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn will arrive sooner rather than later. Developed by Divinity: Original Sin studio Larian—and it's the biggest game they've made to date—the new BG promises "a rich narrative with unparalleled player freedom," and will feature both single- and multi-player gameplay.

Baldur's Gate III won't be the only Dungeons & Dragons-inspired RPG to arrive this year. Due this fall for consoles and PC is Dark Alliance, a spiritual successor to the 2001 game Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance that is similarly based on D&D's "Forgotten Realms" campaign.
