Less than a year after the announcement Hasbro has supposedly cancelled an action adventure game that was supposedly to feature Drizzt.
Here's hoping we still get that TV show.

At least this Mephisto does not erase the marriages of heroes.
I heard it is also the first appearance of Doctor Dominiani.
Our team is incredibly proud to finally share a brand new look at the place where the legend of the Bhaalspawn began: Candlekeep!
If you played our very first demo, you've already walked the cobblestones of our initial Candlekeep build. But as our team has grown and our mastery of the Baldur's Gate 3 engine has evolved, we decided we needed to go back to the beginning and give your childhood home the massive visual overhaul it truly deserves.
Today, we’re showing off this newly redesigned, grand fortress of knowledge. Our level designers have completely reimagined the citadel with a much heavier focus on a lush, overgrown garden vibe. We wanted Candlekeep to feel like a truly ancient, peaceful sanctuary that has been softly reclaimed by nature over the centuries.
We leaned heavily into the foliage! As you can see in the screenshots, the towering walls of the great library are now draped in overgrown ivy, while the courtyards and training grounds are bursting with vibrant flowers, potted plants, and sunlit greenery. Candlekeep is ancient, and we wanted the architecture to reflect the passage of time. The weathering on the statues, the mossy stone paths, and the carefully placed clutter make this feel like a bustling, living monastery tended to by generations of dedicated scholars and monks.
Please note that what you are seeing is still in active development! We are in the process of adding the final layers of polish to this overgrown environment.
We Need Your Help to Forge the Sword Coast!
A project of this massive scale is driven entirely by community passion, and we still need more volunteers to join our ranks and bring this mod to life. Whether you want to help us build out the world, script encounters, or translate classic dialogue into the new format, there is a place for you here.
Never modded before? Don't let that stop you. While we absolutely welcome veterans who are familiar with the BG3 toolkit, prior experience is not a strict requirement. What we value most is a deep passion for the Baldur's Gate universe, a collaborative spirit, and a willingness to dedicate some of your free time to learning and building with us. We have a highly supportive team environment and are more than happy to guide enthusiastic newcomers. We are in particular need of skilled 3D & 2D artists at the moment, so if you or anyone you know possesses that skillset then we highly encourage you to apply or spread the word :).
If you want to be part of bringing a legendary RPG to a brand new generation, we would love to review your application.
You can find more information about the project, view our progress, and apply to join the team in our Discord server here: https://discord.gg/k3YXNaHJjW
Thank you for your time, and we can't wait to see you in Faerûn!
The one on the right gives Captain Grime vibes.

His story seems neat! I should probably read the Christie Golden novel.
I want Manshoon and the Zhentarim!
Can you give me a summary of who are the Arak of the Shadow Rift? I know nothing about them aside for being shadow elves who used to be slaves of Gwydion.

I think it's a pity we never saw him and Elminster interact in a book, because i think Halaster is the ideal evil counterpart (or shadow archetype) to El.
Undermountain is an amazing dungeon, though.
What studio should make them, though?
I will always defend the novels under the Forgotten Realms logo, but i do admit there are genuine stinkers, even for a fanboy like me.
I vote for the early Baldur's Gate novelisations. Easy one.
