4Vermouth let us know that EBGames has a listing for Baldur's Gate 3 on their site. The game is shown as shipping in February, with Vivendi Universal as publisher. Of course, online retailers remain notoriously unreliable for release dates and such but more often unannounced products turn out to be true.

coolest weapon ever
Had things gone as planned, BG 3 would of been annouced at E3 by Interplay with Vivendi Universal publishing it. Perorders were to begin now with a release of next Feburary.
Interplay made a mistake. When they lost NWN to Atari, they extyended the BG rights to just the console. They started development of BG3 (aka Jefferson). They got fairly close to finishing when interplay realized they didn't have the rights to BG for the pc. They tried to get the rights but Atari knew they had Interplay over a barrel and demanded a lot of money. One thing Interplay doesn't have is a lot of money. So the decision was made to cancel Jefferson (well, put it on hold be we all know that means cancelled in this business)
Someone forgot to tell the publisher. So the preorder notice went out on schedule and caused this snafu.
Right now Interplay is working on Fallout 3 and Jefferson is going to be retooled for the Exalted license.

Man, this would be awesome. I dunno where they'll go with the story though, since last time we saw our intrepid adventurer, he was, shall we say, an adventurer no more...

Besides, I thought Black Isle was having some troubles lately? I read somewhere that they lost a couple of their higher profile employees.
