🎮 Multi-platformBaldur's Gate 3: Astarion Is A Very Dark Prequel Novel For The RPG's Beloved Vampire Hitting Shelves This September
!Baldur's Gate Astarion Prequel Novel (https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/04/24/9e387e84/astarionheader.jpg.webp) Though Larian Studios has moved on from its colossal 2023 hit RPG, Baldur's Gate 3(https://gameinformer.com/product/baldurs-gate-3), to work on Divinity(https://gameinformer.com/the-game-awards-2025/2025/12/11/baldurs-gate-3-developer-larian-studios-announces-new-divinity-game), the world of Baldur's Gate continues forward. And later this year, fans of the game can gain new insight into one of the game's fan-favorite characters, Astarion, in a prequel novel written by fantasy author T. Kingfisher, hitting shelves on September 29. That's according to the exclusive reveal over at Polygon(https://www.polygon.com/bg3-baldurs-gate-3-astarion-prequel-novel-release-date/), which writes that "Baldur's Gate 3: Astarion" takes place prior to the events of Baldur's Gate 3 and follows the High Elf during his years serving the vampire lord Cazador Szarr. Baldur's Gate 3 senior writer Stephen Rooney consulted on the book to ensure it aligns with the world/game lore, and Astarion's voice actor, Neil Newbon, who won Best Performance for this role at The Game Awards 2023(https://gameinformer.com/the-game-awards-2023/2023/12/07/every-winner-at-the-game-awards-2023), will narrate the audiobook. Here's a look at the book's cover: !Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/04/24/988ecadc/astarionbookcover.jpg.webp) Wizards of the Coast, Random House Worlds Over on Bluesky(https://bsky.app/profile/tkingfisher.com/post/3mkawlboins2d), Kingfisher writes, "FOR THE RECORD – this character has a super f up abusive backstory. We handle it well, I think, but CONTENT WARNINGS. The book is DARK. Also, it's a prequel, so it ends in a really dark place." "Baldur's Gate 3: Astarion" is one of four titles to be published by Random House Worlds as part of a new collaboration with Wizards of the Coast, centered around the game's immersive lore and unforgettable characters, according to Polygon. The other projects are as follows: - "Baldur's Gate 3: The Necromancy of Thay" on July 21: a reproduction notebook of the in-game item of the same name. - "The Official Baldur's Gate 3 Coloring Book" later in the Summer: 40 black and white drawings of characters, settings, and more. - "A Feast for a Tenday: The Official Baldur's Gate Cookbook" on November 3: a cookbook inspired by the game with 65 recipes. "Baldur's Gate 3: Astarion" hits shelves September 29.

🎮 Multi-platformMission Impossible Director Christopher McQuarrie Teaming Up With Sinners' Michael B. Jordan For Battlefield Adaptation
!Battlefield Movie Adaptation Mission Impossible Christopher McQuarrie Sinners Michael B. Jordan(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2025/08/01/8be87b1f/bf6screen2.jpeg.webp) Longtime Mission Impossible director Christopher McQuarrie is teaming up with Sinners' lead and Hollywood star Michael B. Jordan for a film adaptation of EA's Battlefield franchise. That's according to a new report from The Hollywood Reporter(https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/battlefield-movie-michael-b-jordan-chris-mcquarrie-1236574195/), which states McQuarrie will write, direct, and produce the feature while Jordan will also produce and possibly star in the film. This news comes after a big 2025 for both names – McQuarrie's latest Mission Impossible, The Final Reckoning, hit theaters and might be the last in the series (at least for now), while Jordan won an Oscar last month for his (incredible) performance as the duo-leads of 2025's Sinners, brothers Smoke and Stack. And it arrives after the biggest year for the Battlefield franchise in some time, following the massive and well-received launch of Battlefield 6(https://gameinformer.com/product/battlefield-6) last year. Details remain sparse on the adaptation, and there's no word on whether the film will adapt a specific Battlefield game or even fit into one of the series' various branches, like Bad Company. THR reports that Jordan could star in the film, "depending on several factors" that seemingly remain unknown for now. EA will produce the film, and THR sources tell the publication that McQuarrie and several others pitched studios and streamers like Apple and Sony yesterday and today; THR writes that a theatrical release is a priority for the adaptation. There's no word on when to expect this adaptation in theaters, but Game Informer will keep you updated if we learn more about the movie. In the meantime, read Game Informer's Battlefield 6 review(https://gameinformer.com/review/battlefield-6/battle-ready) to find out why it was one of our favorite games of last year.

🎮 Multi-platformFinal Fantasy 14: Evercold Expansion Revealed, Coming January 2027
!Final Fantasy XIV Evercold Expansion Revealed Announcement Trailer January 2027(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/04/24/ec662ac8/evercoldexpansionheader.jpg.webp) Final Fantasy XIV: Evercold has been revealed, and it's the latest expansion coming to the long-running MMORPG from Square Enix. It will launch in January of 2027, and promises to begin a new era of storytelling for the game as part of the Godless Realms Saga. Revealed during the 2026 FFXIV: Fan Fest opening keynote ceremony, developer Creative Business Unit III, which is also the developer behind 2023's Final Fantasy XVI(https://gameinformer.com/review/final-fantasy-xvi/victory-in-the-land-of-gods-and-monsters), and publisher Square Enix, debuted a nearly four-and-a-half-minute cinematic trailer for the Evercold expansion. In it, we see a grandmother telling her granddaughter the story of a world enshrouded in frost, frozen over until a man from the sky (whom she calls the Wanderer, but we know as the player-character Warrior of Light) came down to save the realm. It's a gorgeously rendered trailer and shows the Warrior of Light as a Reaper, one of the jobs added to the game with 2021's Endwalker expansion(https://gameinformer.com/review/final-fantasy-xiv-endwalker/final-fantasy-xiv-endwalker-review-a-grand-finale). We won't spoil anything here, but using an Endwalker job is fitting given this is the start of the Godless Realms Saga. Check all that out and more in the Final Fantasy XIV: Evercold expansion reveal trailer for yourself below: Evercold will hit FFXIV in January of next year, though an exact date was not revealed. The expansion will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, and PC, or, in other words, everywhere the MMORPG is currently playable. The main scenario of Evercold will be set on one of the universe's reflections: The Fourth. There are plenty of ways to describe these reflections and you'll see the community use words like pocket dimension, alternate reality, and localized world to do so. We'll likely learn more about what an expansion taking place in The Fourth means for FFXIV as Square Enix reveals more about this expansion in the lead-up to launch. After the reveal during the keynote, Square Enix revealed the MMORPG will receive "significant updates that suit the busy lifestyle of today's players," alongside a new Season system that will be implemented in the game as part of a change in FFXIV's game design for Evercold. One season will be two patches (an even and an odd patch). For example, Dawntrail's Patch 7.0 and Patch 7.1 make one season, while Patch 7.2 and Patch 7.3 make a second season. Evercold will also feature an expanded character customization toolset, giving players additional options to further customize their Warriors of Light. !Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/04/24/388333c4/evercold1.jpg.webp) Square Enix teased that it will be improving public fields and quests and evolving battles as part of what it calls "ever-evolving content," but said we won't learn more about these updates until future Fan Festivals. Final Fantasy XIV: Evercold launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, and PC in January 2027.
