Larian Offers Baldur’s Gate 3 Code After Gerard Way Says He Hasn’t Played It

The studio’s public invite shows how a single fan sign can turn a stadium exchange into fast developer outreach and wider cultural attention.

Overview

  • A fan-held banner at My Chemical Romance’s Wembley Stadium show prompted Gerard Way to tell the crowd on Saturday, July 11 that he has not played Baldur’s Gate 3.
  • Way said he played the original Baldur’s Gate and the Icewind Dale expansion but “ran out of time” to play Baldur’s Gate 2 or 3.
  • Video of the onstage exchange recorded by TikTok user KatanaLuciana spread quickly across social platforms and gaming outlets.
  • Larian Studios responded on X by offering Way a Baldur’s Gate 3 code and CEO Swen Vincke joked about adding a parade to a future game.
  • As of the latest reports, Way has not confirmed accepting or playing the offered copy, and the moment remains a viral PR interaction that could boost crossover interest between music fans and the game’s audience.
