Whatever the X-factor was in The Witcher 3’s case, Baldur’s Gate 3 doesn’t necessarily enjoy any of the same favourable conditions. It could just be that the first two games were good enough to build some word of mouth recognition and by the time the third game came round, the property was ready to explode into the mainstream.īaldur's Gate 3 will scratch the adventuring itch for a lot of PS5 owners who won't have access to Starfield. It could have been simply that CDPR had procured a huge injection of investor cash and had a beefy war chest to spend on lavish marketing. When The Witcher 3 released early in the PS4’s life, big, triple-A, open world adventures were a bit thin on the ground. But aside from the leap in quality, what is it that made the third game go stratospheric, when the previous two enjoyed a certain cult status, but were only really a thing among the hardcore gaming audience? I mean, an obvious one is that it’s better.
It’s difficult to determine the reasons for this. Significantly more people have played the third Witcher game than either of the first two.

It catapulted a niche series of Polish fantasy novels – popular in their home country but fairly unknown elsewhere – to huge international success, with a Netflix series and everything.īelieve it or not, this chinless git is Geralt of Rivia. But The Witcher 3 is probably on a par with Skyrim in terms of critical, cultural, and financial success.
Assuming it’s still coming this year: the radio silence on that front has been deafening, although there are rumours that a Starfield focused showcase is imminent.īut consider: there was a time when the idea that CD Projekt RED could challenge the might of Bioware and Bethesda in terms of cultural impact or Business Done would have seemed daft. There probably won’t be a more significant release this year. Word of a release date is, naturally, awaited with bated breath. Skyrim is probably, arguably, the most successful role-playing video game to date, and Starfield promises to be Skyrim in Space. Bethesda, after all, are giants of the RPG world.
