One of the best video games of all time is being turned into a TV series—by the network behind some of the best series of all time. Nevertheless, the response has not been entirely enthusiastic.
What an announcement! Baldur’s Gate 3 is getting a sequel… just not as a video game for now. Larian’s already legendary role-playing game will, as Deadline reports, picked up by HBO.
The network behind some of the best TV shows of all time (Game of Thrones, The Sopranos, The Wire) has apparently reached an agreement with Hasbro and is set to continue the epic story of the role-playing game milestone.
Good omens
At first glance, everything about this announcement sounds extremely promising. This is mainly due to the people involved. The series based on Baldur’s Gate 3 is being produced by none other than Craig Mazin.
Mazin was the leading figure behind the series adaptation of The Last of Us, which was also produced by HBO. The series is considered one of the best video game adaptations to date. However, with Season 3, The Last of Us is coming to an end, after which Mazin will reportedly devote himself to Baldur’s Gate 3.
According to his own statement, the screenwriter has put almost 1,000 hours of playtime into the role-playing game, making him a hardcore fan of the original. He is also said to be a passionate player of Dungeons & Dragons:
“I’m an avid fan of D&D and the brilliant way Swen Vincke and his talented team have adapted it. I can’t wait to bring Baldur’s Gate and all its incredible characters to life with as much respect and love as possible, and I am deeply grateful to Gabe Marano and his team at Hasbro for entrusting me with this incredibly important project.“
