Monday, September 16, London: ReedPop is today pleased to announce that the voice cast of Larian Studios’ critically acclaimed Baldur’s Gate 3 will be appearing at MCM Comic Con x EGX at ExCeL London from the 25th - 27th of October.
Launched in August of last year, Baldur’s Gate 3 picks up over 23 years after the previous entry in the Baldur’s Gate series, and sees players embark on a quest in which both the fate of the world and their own free will is at stake. The title has gone on to win multiple accolades, including Game of the Year at the Game Awards and Best Game at the BAFTA Game Awards - and love for the developers, artists and actors involved in bringing it to life shows no sign of abating.
