Featuring an entirely original story and a new cast, the custom campaign returns fans to Athkatla, the sprawling city from Baldur’s Gate 2.Created by a team of modders, the upcoming mod is aiming to release its “first playable demo [in] Spring 2025”, making full use of the cracked BG3 mod tools that released last year. With new footage showing off more progress of the mind-blowing new mod, it’s clear we’re entering a golden age for Baldur’s Gate 3.Released just days ago on YouTube, new footage of the Path To Menzoberranzan shows the player traipsing down the Athkatla Streets. A gorgeous recreation of the classic isometric game’s locale, the new location is Larian quality in its design with ornate, fully-furnished interiors and intense crowds.Currently sitting at just 2,300 views at the time of wriing, the new footage showcases the best modding work we’ve seen in Baldur’s Gate 3 yet. While some modders work on other custom campaigns that take players to locations from World of Warcraft, or shove Master Chief into the game, this is the first BG3 mod that feels like it could be an official expansion.In a comment on the YouTube video, it was confirmed that every companion in the game will be “completely new with their own VAs [voice actors]”. Additionally, the custom campaign—when released—should be playable without ruining your current playthrough of the main game.While the new custom campaign will take players to familiar locations from Baldur’s Gate 2, the team is clear to state that this is a “completely different story”. This is not a remake of the now 24-year-old game. Instead, it’s an entirely original experience.There’s still no solid release date for the custom campaign or its upcoming demo, although that is at least planned to release in Spring. Furthermore, the mod will not be available on console or via Baldur’s Gate 3’s official mod page as it makes use of the cracked mod tools. Instead, players on PC will have to download it, and other custom campaigns, via Nexus Mods.Nevertheless, this is an incredibly exciting time to be a fan of Baldur’s Gate 3. While we’re not on the level of Fallout London-size fan-made expansions, we are experiencing the start of something brilliant, and I can’t wait to see where it goes.Lewis White is a veteran games journalist with a decade of experience writing news, reviews, features and investigative pieces about game development with a focus on Halo and Xbox.
