Baldur’s Gate III is launching in early access in August (hopefully), and developer Larian Studios has spoken before about how it will include most of the game’s first act. This act, however, will be larger than the equivalent early access launch for Divinity: Original Sin 2, according to creative director Swen Vincke.

Speaking to GameSpot as part of Play For All, Vincke said he didn’t have an exact number to share, but that players can expect to “be busy” when it launches. “That’s early access–the actual complete game is going to be much bigger than that,” Vincke continued. You can watch the full interview below.

Vincke also explained that the first act will have a lot of what Larian Studios hopes to have locked for the game’s eventual release, but that some content that you’ll be able to play could still be cut as development continues. You’ll be restricted to a certain level cap during early access, but Vincke says the exact number is still being decided on.

More Electronic Arts titles have popped up on Steam today, joining a bunch of games the publisher has recently released on Valve’s digital storefront. The Sims 4 and all its expansion content, Dead Space 3, A Way Out, and Titanfall 2 are new to the PC platform, following a host of games that have popped up on Steam recently.

The releases come just ahead of EA Play 2020, the virtual version of the publisher’s yearly E3 fan event that takes place later today. Not all of the publisher’s games are available on Steam just yet, as Apex Legends, for instance, remains Origin-only on PC.

To mark the release of the new games, they’re all on sale, as is their DLC (of which there is a ton for Sims 4). These range from 30% to 75% off.

Bungie shared a few looks at what’s coming to Destiny 2 in the Beyond Light expansion on a charity livestream, confirming that the Destiny 1 Exotic hand cannon Hawkmoon will return to the game this fall. Hawkmoon was a fan favorite weapon, and it’ll get some slight tweaks when it makes its way to Destiny 2.

Director Luke Smith announced the return of Hawkmoon on Bungie’s charity Twitch stream to raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. As of this writing, the stream has garnered more than $600,000 in donations. Bungie offered several “stretch goals” to encourage fans to donate, with Smith making the Hawkmoon announcement at the $500,000 mark.

In Destiny 1, Hawkmoon carried a perk called “Luck in the Chamber,” which caused one random bullet in the gun’s magazine to do significantly more damage than all the others. Some other guns had the Luck in the Chamber perk to get one bullet with bonus damage, but the thing that set Hawkmoon apart was that it carried three, which could make it extremely powerful if you got a lucky few shots in a row.

After a short demo of Baldur’s Gate 3 we caught up with head of Larian Studios Swen Vincke to talk about the size and scale of the game, the freedom it offers players, its multiplayer and if you can tame pets.

Outer Wilds was a surprise hit when it launched last year, earning a “superb” 9/10 in our review and earning its spot among our top 10 games of 2019. The debut game from a small studio that started out as a student project, Outer Wilds finally released on Xbox One and PC after almost seven years in development and has since been released on PlayStation 4; it’s also out on Steam today. If you’ve been looking to play on PS4, Limited Run Games is publishing a region-free physical PS4 copy of the game, and there’s also a fantastic bundle featuring both the physical version and a 2xLP vinyl from iam8bit for $75. The vinyl is also available separately for $40.

If you’ve played Outer Wilds, you know its soundtrack (created by Andrew Prahlow) is phenomenal, perfectly capturing the loneliness and beauty of exploring empty planets, reading transcripts from an abandoned civilization, and experiencing a world-ending supernova over and over. Music plays a huge role in Outer Wilds, as your fellow explorers each have a unique instrument that you can always hear off in the distance, and those melodies come together in a meaningful way by the end of the game. The “Black Hole” vinyl cover looks stunning, featuring album art by Outer Wilds concept artist Ian Jacobson. The inside of the vinyl looks like it includes hand-scrawled notes and doodles as if it’s an explorer’s notebook.
