The highly anticipated physical Deluxe Editions of Baldur's Gate 3 for the PlayStation 5 have faced an unexpected delay in North America. According to a recent update from IGN, unforeseen production issues have pushed the release date back by approximately two weeks. Following this delay, Larian Studios will require an additional ten days to ensure all orders are delivered. This setback is disappointing for fans eagerly awaiting their physical copies. However, it highlights the complexity and challenges involved in game production and distribution.
Larian Studios, the developers behind Baldur's Gate 3, took to social media to apologize for the delay and reassure fans that they are working diligently to resolve the issues. The announcement came via Twitter, where the studio explained the nature of the delay and thanked players for their patience. This transparency is appreciated in the gaming community, as it shows a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
In a surprising turn of events, Neil Druckmann, the co-president of Naughty Dog, has clarified that he was misquoted by Sony regarding his comments about the next Naughty Dog game.

However, Druckmann took to social media to set the record straight, stating that his comments were taken out of context.
Druckmann shared his full response on Twitter, explaining that while he is excited about the new project, he never intended to make such a bold claim. He emphasized that Naughty Dog will not announce their next game until it is nearly ready, ensuring that fans receive accurate information and can build genuine excitement closer to the release date.
