'Stray Gods' delays launch to avoid 'Baldur’s Gate 3' clash

Stray Gods, a musical role-playing game by David Gaider's Summerfall Studios, is delayed by a week to avoid Baldur's Gate 3. The game will launch on August 10 instead of August 3. The studio wants to give Baldur's Gate 3 some space, as it is a highly anticipated game.

Interestingly, Baldur's Gate 3 also changed its release date in June to dodge Starfield, Bethesda's sci-fi RPG. Both games are huge and would compete for the same audience. Starfield itself was delayed twice, from 2022 to 2023. So, if you're upset about Stray Gods, you can blame Todd Howard. This is a rare case of studios openly admitting that they are avoiding bigger games. It happened before with Path of Exile and Everspace 2 against Cyberpunk 2077.
