According to Larian Studios’ Director of Publishing, Baldur’s Gate 3 has 
sold 2 copies in The Vatican with one Wishlist on the way.

In what is surely a gaming first, Larian Studios’ Director of Publishing 
announced on Twitter that Baldur’s Gate 3 had sold two copies in The 
Vatican, with a third on the “wishlist.”

That’s right. The Vatican. Does this mean the Pope is about to get in 
there and play a Paladin? Or do you think he’d play the Dark Urge? 
Either way, I hope Larian can track down what paths he takes – because I 
can’t think of a better way to determine the, ahem, canonical ending 
than that.

Baldur’s Gate 3 In The Vatican

First up, here’s the official announcement:

     Sold 2 copies of Baldur’s Gate 3 in The Vatican, with 1 wishlist. 
I’d like too think the latter is just the Pope waiting until he has a 
free minute. Wish I could see their mod list. Bet it’s absolutely gnarly.

Now, what’s interesting is that this isn’t the first time The Vatican 
has been connected to gaming in recent months. Because earlier this 
year, the Catholic Church was on track to beatify a gamer as the first 
Millennial Saint. No, really.

So, I can only imagine that this means that someone has set up a PC 
gaming rig. The question is, who? Is it actually the Pope? Is it one of 
the Papal Guard? Or one of the relatively few people who actually live 
there? While we don’t know for certain, and it would be a violation of 
all sorts of privacy laws to try and find out, the theological 
implications could be huge!

At any rate, it is ironic see D&D go from Satanic Panic to being 
installed somewhere in the Vatican in just a few short decades. Never 
let anyone tell you who you are.

Okay, but do you think it’s the Pope?
