Baldur’s Gate 3 Will Receive Four Books Across 2026
Random House Worlds will publish Baldur’s Gate 3: Astarion by award-winning, New York Times bestselling fantasy author T. Kingfisher on September 29, 2026. This prequel novel follows the beloved character Astarion during his time in servitude to the vampire lord Cazador Szarr in the years leading up to the events of the video game. Subsequent to its completion, Stephen Rooney, one of the senior writers of Baldur’s Gate 3, was consulted to ensure the novel’s authenticity within the game’s world and lore. The audiobook, published by Penguin Random House Audio, will be narrated by Neil Newbon, the acclaimed actor behind Astarion’s voice and PCAP [performance capture] in the game.
Clarkson Potter will publish Baldur’s Gate 3: The Necromancy of Thay on July 21, 2026, a blank, grid-paper notebook that is a faithful reproduction of the Necromancy of Thay, an important quest item found in the game, featuring an embossed skull on the cover, foil stamping, and illustrated “clasps” to protect the book’s unholy content from prying eyes.
Ten Speed Press will publish The Official Baldur’s Gate 3 Coloring Book on August 11, 2026, illustrated by Jaki King, featuring 40 gorgeous black-and-white line drawings of characters, creatures, and settings from Baldur’s Gate 3.
