In North America, the tangible Deluxe Edition of the epic role-playing game Baldur’s Gate 3 has encountered another production obstacle. The culprit, according to developer and publisher Larian Studios, is “certain processes specifically established by production companies during the manufacturing of PS5 discs.” Approvals in that region are also taking longer than anticipated.
Larian issued the following update via Twitter, accompanied by an explanation of the delay’s anticipated duration and an apology for the inconvenience. Customers in North America were informed that pre-ordered PS5 copies would be available for pickup in fourteen (ostensibly business) days, with an additional ten days allotted for direct delivery.
Larian initially informed North American customers at the beginning of May that orders would be delayed while those destined for other regions commenced shipping. With any luck, this pending spanner will be resolved amicably, and the valuable collectibles will arrive without further delay at the enthusiastic recipients.
