Yep. Going to be made by Larian Studios, the same guys that did Divinity, Original Sin 1&2. WotC backed.

Since "Pirates of the Caribean" it seems that cuttlefish and octopuses are booming. 
Still have "Pillars of Eternity" I + II on my wishlist and also "Pathfinder - Kingmaker" but I can't get away from CM.

I remember the first Baldurs Gate, how time files.
So many games on my wish list. Even retired guy doesn't have the time!
May as well add this too.

Au contraire mon ami, the Baldur's Gate PC game series (1998) predates the Pirates of the Caribbean film series (2003) by five years. Tentacles are a staple of BG.

OK.
OK.
Sorry. I may have "nerded out" too much there. Baldur's Gate 1&2 are my favorite games.

@Meat Grinder - no need to row back, matey materson! You found a fact and I agreed. All is good!
I only was just too lazy to write a longer answer. My bad.
Don't think about it any further.
Especially HERE in "our" forum/in this great place, there is no reason to hide one's extensive nerd know!
I also liked Baldur's Gate 2 very much - somehow missed out on part 1 when it was released.
Later I bought the "enhanced edition" of Baldur's Gate 1. Carefully I created a character, called him "Shorker"
and started my first travel to a small town. There a dodgy guy asked me if I was this "Shorker" and I said "Yes".
He instantly killed me... ! LOL!
Since then I always wanted to restart, but somehow I did not do it. One reason might be the old graphics
but mainly it is because of my strong addiction to Combat Mission and WWII/Modern Warfare.
The "Fantasy" part in me has shrunk a lot in recent years it seems. I was an active Dungeons & Dragons player in my
youth but more and more it looks like the tanks and machine guns have finally replaced the magic and the sword.

Hahah “nerd know” ... I love it.
The first gameplay demonstration was streamed yesterday.
Certainly looks great. What, about 500 hrs game play?
I'm hoping for 50+ hours for the first game, and I'm hoping it is very well done and received and there are lots of follow up expansions/DLC/sequels/other D&D licensed content.
Another gameplay video that was recently released:
This is my most anticipated upcoming game, by a long shot.

Nephew bought me this for my birthday. It's still in early release. Downloading now (52 gig).
Release version 1.0 is set for 08-03-23 for PC.
Here's some FYI:

Game of the decade contender, IMO.
Larian Studios: made BG3
Other Studios: Oh no! That's an unrealistically high level that we cannot hope to achieve!
Gamers: Then how did Larian do it?
Other Studios: Well...uhhh.

Owlcat did a good with Pathfinder: Kingmaker to be fair. Good game.
I played Balders Gate 1 years ago.

I forgot this is a turn-based game. That's got my attention.
Not sure I'm willing to take on a game of this size though.
