Baldur’s Gate 3’s PS5 Physical Edition Is Delayed Again in North America Due to “Production Issues”
Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian Studios has shared the “disappointing news” that its physical PS5 North America deluxe edition is facing another delay.
Production Problems Persist
In a statement released on Twitter, Larian explained that “more production issues” are to blame. Specifically, the studio attributed the delay to “production changes outside of our control” related to PS5 disc manufacturing.
According to Larian, “approval for particular regions has taken much longer than expected,” resulting in the delay. The studio estimates that PS5 North American copies will be ready in approximately 14 days, followed by a 10-day delivery process.
Other Editions Unaffected
Larian was quick to assure fans that this delay only affects PS5 North American copies. Xbox copies have already shipped, while PS5 EU and Oceania editions have left the warehouse and are on their way to couriers.
Apology and Updates
Larian apologized profusely for the delay and expressed regret that it was вынуждены делиться “дальнейшими новостями об отсрочке”. The studio podkreслил, что стремится вызвать у игроков “ностальгическое” чувство распаковки новейшей физической версии игры-победителя игры года.
Larian added that it is exploring options to hire additional temporary staff to reduce assembly times and expedite delivery.
Digital Content Accessibility
Despite the physical edition delay, Larian noted that players who pre-ordered the deluxe edition will still be able to access their digital content. A code provided in an email will allow them to redeem the content without having to purchase it again.
Community Reaction
The delay has been met with a mix of disappointment and understanding from fans. Some expressed frustration at the continued delays, while others expressed support for Larian’s efforts to ensure a quality product.
Baldur’s Gate 3’s physical deluxe edition was originally scheduled to release alongside the game’s launch last August, but has faced multiple delays since then. The Xbox and PS5 North American copies were previously delayed in May due to production issues.
Despite the setbacks, Larian remains committed to providing players with a высококачественный physical experience and has assured fans that there will be sufficient stock available when the deluxe edition is finally released.
