Emo rock band My Chemical Romance have mentioned their love for Baldur’s Gate throughout a latest present at Wembley Stadium — although singer Gerard Way revealed he is one way or the other but to play Baldur’s Gate 3.
In a break between songs throughout the band’s present The Black Parade 2026 Tour, MCR frontman Way was alerted to a bunch of followers holding up a banner asking the query: “Gerard, have you ever performed Baldur’s Gate 3?”
The signal seems to be the work of TikTok consumer Katana Luciana, whose question caught the eye of the band — and clearly required a response.
@katanaluciana Astarion x Darkish urge mind rot strikes once more on the my chemical romance present. Gerard means can’t escape baulders gate 3, additionally the very fact he is performed the primary sport confirmed is a win. This was such an incredible gig and if anybody else has any movies from this interplay please tag me😭😭 #mychemicalromance #bg3 #astariontok #mcrwembley #mcr ♬ Gerard way is bbg – megan 𐙚
“No, I solely performed Baldur’s Gate 1,” Way responded. “Not that I most likely would not have favored 2 or 3. I did play the Icewind Dale enlargement, however I simply ran out of time, y’know.”
“Did you play Baldur’s Gate 3?” Way requested the gang, to enormous cheers. “Is it good?” Once more, extra cheers erupted in response. “I might assume so. The primary one was a number of enjoyable. You recognize, it was the closest factor on the time to enjoying D&D.”
Why ask MCR about BG3? Not solely is Way a self-professed D&D fan, however the sport is particularly referenced within the opening to one of many band’s most well-known music movies, I am Not Okay (I Promise):
“You want D&D, Audrey Hepburn, Fangoria, Harry Houdini, and croquet,” Way is instructed originally of the video. “You possibly can’t swim, you’ll be able to’t dance, and you do not know karate. Face it, you are by no means gonna make it.” Effectively, it could have taken just a few extra years, however D&D has now by no means been extra widespread.
As for the Baldur’s Gate collection, Way appears to have lots extra time to meet up with the outstanding BG3 whereas followers await a fourth entry within the legendary role-playing sport collection — or that spinoff Baldur’s Gate TV collection. Developer Larian has now moved on to making Divinity, a contemporary RPG in its personal universe. And whereas there was discuss of BG4 taking place by way of one other developer, there is definitely some large footwear to fill — sufficient that different studios are reportedly turning the undertaking down.
Time for one more go round Faerûn within the meantime?
