The highly-anticipated Warcraft-themed Baldur's Gate 3 custom campaign, Forsaken, has just launched its first act on Nexus, adding over 20 new quests, 60+ NPCs and traders, 30+ combat encounters, with new creatures, items, equipment, and puzzles.

"Forsaken is a custom campaign set in the universe of Warcraft," the description reads. "It is based on the Undead starting zone 'Tirisfal Glades' from World of Warcraft (Classic/Vanilla). It is not connected to the story or setting of Baldur's Gate 3 in any way.

There's currently no voice acting, and Squally has no plans to implement it.

"You play as one of the Forsaken; an Undead who has recently awakened to find they are no longer slaves to the Lich King," it continues. "Now you must find your place in this new world alongside other freed Undead as you fight to reclaim the kingdom of Lordaeron. Hunt fierce beasts, explore forgotten ruins, end dark rituals, slay zealots, discover magical items, and more in this custom campaign for levels 1–5."

Mod author SquallyDaBeanz explains that the map is designed to "feel massive like WoW", so it's not nearly as dense as Baldur's Gate 3 is. With wide-open zones, there's a much larger emphasis on combat, with 3 new companions to recruit in the Deathknell Chapel. "However, the current implementation is temporary and exists purely to have a full party for combat encounters," Squally says. "A complete overhaul is in the works, but I chose to put it off for a future update."
