Baldur’s Gate 3 First Look at Orin the Red Trailer

2023/07/31

Geek News, News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News

With the launch of Baldur’s Gate 3 just around the corner, Larian Studios has released a new video introducing the RPG’s third and final central antagonist: Orin the Red. A practitioner in the art of inflicting pain and a grandmaster of murder, Orin has killed for many years but has yet to be caught, thanks in part to her shapeshifting abilities, which enable her to take the form of anyone – perhaps even someone in your camp…

Orin the Red is voiced by the incredible Maggie Robertson, known to many as the voice of Lady Dimitrescu (Resident Evil Village) and Skjóthendi the Unerring (God of War Ragnarök).

“Orin is, affectionately, unhinged,” said Robertson. “You don’t know when she’s going to pop up, you don’t know in what form she’s going to be, she’s incredibly tricksy.”

As Orin, Maggie Robertson joins General Ketheric Thorm (J.K. Simmons) and Lord Enver Gortash (Jason Isaacs) to complete the “unholy triumvirate” of villains in Baldur’s Gate 3.

“To be considered even in the same realm, much less share scenes with J.K. Simmons and Jason Isaacs… was such an honour, and it was so inspiring and exciting to see their work in this game and experience how our characters come together in the scenes we share to create this unholy, evil triumvirate,” said Robertson.

Baldur’s Gate 3 releases August 3 on PC and September 6 on PlayStation 5. See the attached map for release timing per region on PC.

More information on Baldur’s Gate 3 is available on the official website. You can stay up to date with the latest Larian Studios news via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or the official Discord server.

REMNANT II is now available for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S from Gearbox Publishing and Gunfire Games. The sequel to the best-selling game Remnant: From the Ashes, REMNANT II is a third-person action-survival shooter that pits the last remnants of humanity against the harrowing forces of evil. The title evolves the co-op survival shooter with new unseen worlds filled with deadly surprises and encounters. Join the battle to save humanity in a dynamically generated world filled with branching quest lines, unique loot, and overwhelming odds that encourage exploration and replayability either alone or in three-person co-op. Players will define their own playstyle with an expanded Archetype class system and a wide assortment of guns, armor, and special augmentations as they overcome hard-fought challenges to stave off humanity’s extinction.

REMNANT II plunges players into a devastated world requiring a mix of methodical and frenetic ranged and melee combat against cunning enemies and punishing boss battles. Enter the fray as a lone-wolf or even the odds by teaming up with two friends to overcome daunting challenges. Each time players start a new playthrough of REMNANT II they will be brought into a new world built from a wide pool of locations, enemies, NPCs, bosses, and weapons. These dynamically built levels allow for unique experiences as elements are woven organically into the world and narrative.

An updated Archetype system gives players more flexibility to their play style and lets groups better sync unique passive abilities and stunning powers together in co-op play or combine Archetypes for hybrid play styles. From precision skilled shots, up-close and personal melee strikes, providing valued team support, or siccing their trusty dog companion on a horde of beasts, REMNANT II allows players to outfit their character the way they want to play.

“Gunfire Games has crafted a breakneck thrilling co-op shooting experience that elevates the franchise beyond what made REMNANT: From the Ashes so beloved by fans,” said Yoon Im, president of Gearbox Publishing San Francisco. “It was an honor to once again partner with this talented team on this amazing franchise. With REMNANT II, they have developed a truly special game that we know fans will absolutely love.”

“Gunfire Games strives to craft games that we, as fans of video games, are excited to play,” said David Adams of Gunfire Games. “We are proud of what we have been able to accomplish with REMNANT II in its immersive world design, engaging combat encounters, and broad range of unique Archetypes to play as. We are also very thankful for all the fans who have followed us from REMNANT: From the Ashes, and welcome new fans into the world of REMNANT.”
