Baldur’s Gate 3: Forsaken Revealed as Warcraft Campaign Mod

Baldur’s Gate 3: Forsaken has been revealed as an ambitious free custom campaign rather than official Larian DLC. Built in the world of Warcraft, the project gives Baldur’s Gate 3 players a combat-heavy new adventure set around the Forsaken and the struggle for Lordaeron.

What happened: Forsaken brings Warcraft to Baldur’s Gate 3

Created by SquallyDaBeanz, Baldur’s Gate 3: Forsaken is a fan-made campaign inspired by World of Warcraft’s Undead starting area, Tirisfal Glades. Players step into the role of a newly freed Forsaken Undead, no longer under the Lich King’s control, and attempt to carve out a future alongside others who have escaped that rule. The campaign’s setting and map design lean toward Warcraft’s denser world layout instead of the structure of Baldur’s Gate 3’s base-game areas. Its story focuses on reclaiming Lordaeron while confronting beasts, zealots, dark rituals, ruins, and magical discoveries.

Why it matters: a substantial community-made expansion

Only the campaign’s first act is currently available, but it already offers a considerable amount of custom content for characters between levels 1 and 5. The release includes more than 20 quests, alongside dungeons, towns, settlements, and over 60 handcrafted NPCs and merchants. Players can also recruit custom companions during the journey. Forsaken includes cutscenes, written dialogue, and some class-specific interactions, giving the project a more authored feel than a simple quest pack. It also features more than 30 combat encounters, reinforcing its action-focused identity. Dialogue is not voice-acted, and the creator does not plan to add voice work.

What to watch next: multiplayer and the modding community

Forsaken can be downloaded for free now and supports multiplayer, provided every participant has the mod installed. That makes it a potentially appealing co-op option for groups that have already completed Larian’s original campaign and want a different setting without leaving Baldur’s Gate 3’s systems behind. Larian’s major support for the game has largely concluded, with the studio having moved on to its next Divinity project after delivering free updates that added meaningful features and changes. In that environment, large custom campaigns have become one of the clearest ways for the Baldur’s Gate 3 community to keep producing fresh adventures.

Key takeaways for players

• Forsaken is a free fan-made custom campaign, not an official Baldur’s Gate 3 expansion.
• The currently released content covers Act 1 and is designed for levels 1 through 5.
• Expect a Warcraft-inspired Forsaken story centered on Tirisfal Glades and Lordaeron.
• The mod supports multiplayer when all players have it installed.
• Dialogue and cutscenes are included, but the campaign has no voice acting.

Forsaken at a glance

Expert View

Forsaken is the kind of project that shows why Baldur’s Gate 3 modding remains important after Larian’s support winds down. A full custom campaign with its own setting, companions, quests, and co-op functionality offers more than replay tweaks: it gives players a new reason to return. The lack of voice acting may limit its polish, but the scale of its first act makes it a notable example of community ambition.
