After a bit of scope re-evalution over the summer, the modders behind Baldur's Gate 3 custom campaign mod Path to Menzoberranzan have set a new target in terms of releasing the a first publicly playable taste of it. An alpha build made up of a Nautiold-sized tutorial level is now pencilled in to arrive during the first half of 2026.
As we've covered previously, the original pitch for the project was a custom adventure that'd see you and a party of fresh companions travel to Minthara's hometown via some locations from previous Baldur’s Gates. According to the team, over 130 people are now working on making that a reality on what's being teased as a larger scale than originally envisioned.
What happened today? Well, Astarion said something sassy, Lae'zel tried to teach Gale how to build a shed, and Shadowheart wrote a Gauntlet of Shar-themed parody of 'Is This The Way To Amarillo'. That's about how I imagine the journal entries a new Baldur's Gate 3 mod lets you write as part of an impressive in-game diary system will go.
Well, that and at least 100 words per day of moaning about having a little squid thing in your brain.
