The adventure
Baldur's Gate 3 is Larian Studios' turn-based Dungeons & Dragons adventure. The official site, baldursgate3.game, is where Larian posts patch notes.
PlayStation Japan describes a cinematic turn-based adventure in the Forgotten Realms. A mind flayer captures you and the infection opens the story. You play a prepared origin character or a character you customize.
PlayStation Japan prints the title バルダーズ・ゲート3, lists Spike Chunsoft as the publisher, and describes a turn-based D&D adventure in the Forgotten Realms. The mind flayer infection opens the story. The same page offers an origin character or a custom character.
Spike Chunsoft's product page names the same title on PlayStation 5 and lists Larian Studios as the developer.
Larian publishes the game at baldursgate3.game. Patch notes and community updates on that site are the primary sources for mode rules.
Japanese PS5 dates as printed
Two Japanese pages print two dates for the PS5 edition. This hub keeps both lines.
Spike Chunsoft's product page prints 21 December 2023. It lists offline play for 1–2 players and online play for 1–4, Japanese and English display, a CERO Z rating, and no cross-play or cross-save with other platform versions.
PlayStation Japan prints 20 December 2023. It lists English voice, with Japanese and English on-screen text, and the publisher Spike Chunsoft.
Difficulty and the level cap
Honour Mode sits above Tactician. Custom Mode can carry the Honour ruleset if you want the fights without spending the Honour save.
Community Update #25 (30 Nov 2023) introduced Honour Mode with Patch 5. It raises the difficulty past Tactician, adds Legendary Actions to boss fights, and turns save scumming off. Custom Mode shipped in that same patch.
The official Baldur's Gate 3 account said on 19 Sep 2024 that Patch 7 lets a new Custom Mode game use Honour Mode rules from the Ruleset dropdown, including on Tactician.
The character level cap is 12. A multiclass splits that cap across classes.
Names from the romance page
The romance overview lists origin companions Astarion, Gale, Karlach, Lae'zel, Shadowheart, and Wyll, plus Halsin and Minthara. Jaheira and Minsc are not romance options.
