Baldur's Gate 3 News

It's been a turbulent few days for fans of both Baldur's Gate 3 and Stardew Valley.

Then, Dungeons and Dragons owner Wizards of the Coast decided to issue a takedown notice on the project, leaving it in limbo. Everything has worked out since then, thankfully, with WotC saying the DMCA was a mistake and apologizing for the issue altogether. Now, the modding team behind Baldur's Village has outlined what's next for the mod, with multiple updates planned.

Despite Baldur's Gate 3 icons like Astarion ascending into the hall of fame for beloved gaming characters, and the RPG being a huge canvas for mods itself, fans were surprised and saddened to see today that Wizards of the Coast (the license holders of Dungeons and Dragons) had DMCA'd a popular Stardew Valley mod. Baldur's Village puts a romanceable Astarion into the game, among other additions, but is currently unavailable following a takedown notice. After some critical remarks from Baldur's Gate 3's game director and the co-founder of Larian Studios, Swen Vincke, WotC has now apologized and admitted the takedown notice was a mistake.
