It looks as thoughBaldur’s Gate 3’s exciting new physical Deluxe Edition will not be a limited-run product, according to a developer from Larian Studios, the folks behind the game.
Taking to Twitter to offer clarification, Larian’s director of publishing Michael Douse used his platform to shine some light on what exactly we can expect from the Deluxe Edition.
“Just FYI the Deluxe Edition is not a limited edition and stock is holding steady, with more waves being prepared within the Q1 2024 shipping window, so if you see them online being resold based on confirmed preorders at higher prices, skip it. There won’t be stock scarcity.”
This is excellent news for those worried about scalpers taking advantage of low stocks to gouge fans. On the contrary, it looks as though Larian Studios is on track to make good on orders. Plus, the Q1 shipping window - that’s January, February, and March 2024 - means that buyers will have their hands on the new edition in a matter of months.

Douse elaborated on product availability, stating: “We confirmed a minimum order but we already blitzed past that in the first day, and the Q1 shipping date allows us to simply increase wave sizes without [jeopardizing] the shipping date so we [don’t] expect any issues within that 4 month buffer window. WEIRDLY ORGANISED considering it’s us.”
