Music holds great power not only in Forgotten Realms… and now it is yours to wield, with the arrival of Baldur’s Gate 3 Vinyl Discs to the Material Plane! Allow yourself to be charmed by the magical sounds of this legendary score to Larian Studios’ award winning video game Baldur’s Gate 3, weaved by Borislav Slavov – for the very first time to be wielded in a vinyl format, and magically remastered for this occasion!

They say that beauty is found in the eye of the Beholder – we have found true beauty in the hand-painted cover artwork by Magdalena Katańska, our long-time associate and fellow artist. Her proficiency in painting is undeniable, as is her love for Baldur’s Gate 3. Featuring prominent characters and mythical creatures from the game, the meticulous details on all the cover images can truly put a spell on you, almost commanding you to play the record all over again… and again…

This standard edition features 3 LPs, containing the full BAFTA-winning soundtrack from Baldur’s Gate 3. For this unique release, we’ve realized that the design must be something that will dig its way into your mind and leave a lasting impression. Therefore, we have added a twist to the deep black base – a swirl of purple, invoking the grandeur of Illithid evolution, the ceremorphosis.

Please note that the coloring of each vinyl is unique and the final product may slightly differ from these preview images.

Beautifully crafted reactive environments, a great cast of characters, engrossing story, and unparalleled freedom of choice, combined with the enthralling score – all this contributed to the staggering success of Larian Studios’ most recent addition to the legendary saga.

The soundtrack, composed by Borislav Slavov, is a multi-faceted melodic prism, encompassing a variety of musical possibilities within itself. Beguiling vocal fragments and ethereal melodies are intertwined with epic battle themes and choral sections, creating a diverse weave of sounds, fit for a world on the brink of change.

Visit our homepage gmfest.com for the link. You will then be redirected to the ticketing system which will handle the whole process. Please note that the refund rules are maintained by the particular ticketing system, not GMF directly. Be sure to read the Southbank Centre.

It’s not that easy, unfortunately. We cooperate only with top-class venues and performers – both of which tend to be booked many months (if not years) ahead. Nevertheless, in some cases a small number of tickets might become available again, e.g. when someone returns the already purchased ticket.

This year, the top-priced tickets provide premium seating, as well as entry to the masterclass session with the related composer. So for The Symphony of the Realms, a VIP ticket allows the participation in masterclass with Borislav Slavov.

Yes, we will have amazing guests this time as well. Visit the gamemusic.net main site for all the details.

Organizing online broadcasts is a complicated process which requires multiple additional licensing agreements, lots of extra work, and special resources. As of now, we do not yet know if we will be able to provide a live stream, but we will provide an update in case anything changes.

Same as at every GMF, we will prepare various workshops, panel discussions, and meetings with game audio professionals. The educational programme will take place in the venue or online, and the full schedule will be unveiled later on.
