Baldur's Gate III, the critically acclaimed RPG from Larian Studios, continues to make headlines. Publisher Michael Douse recently revealed that the Vatican, the center of the Roman Catholic Church, purchased two copies of the game. Another copy has been added to a wishlist, leading to playful speculation that it might belong to the Pope himself.
Douse's announcement highlights the game's immense popularity and broad appeal, extending beyond the typical gaming audience. The news has sparked humorous discussions about what mods the Vatican might be using.
Baldur's Gate III was released in August 2023 and later received official mod support. Over a million mods were downloaded within the first 24 hours, with some impressing even Larian Studios' head.
