Baldur's Gate III: The Black Hound

About

Baldur's Gate III: The Black Hound was an unreleased role-playing game in the works by Black Isle Studios for PC. Set to continue the story of the popular Baldur's Gate series, it would have used Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition mechanics. Players would have taken on a customizable protagonist in a story-driven campaign with branching choices affecting the world. Turn-based battles emphasized strategy with character builds and team positioning. The game promised deep lore and complex moral dilemmas typical of the series. Development stopped in 2003 after Interplay lost PC publishing rights for D&D games. Known during development as FR6 or Project Jefferson, the game never reached release but remains a point of interest for series fans. While unfinished, it shows Black Isle’s ambition to expand the Baldur's Gate universe with new challenges and narrative depth. The cancellation left many details unknown, keeping it a topic of speculation among RPG communities.
