A new Baldur’s Gate 3 Forsaken mod has introduced a free World of Warcraft-inspired campaign, allowing PC players to explore Tirisfal Glades, complete new quests and battle enemies across a recreated portion of Azeroth.
Created by modder SquallyDaBeanz, Forsaken: Custom Campaign – Act 1 originally launched on October 29, 2026, before receiving another substantial update on November 4.
The campaign takes inspiration from the Undead starting zone in World of Warcraft Classic, placing players in the role of a newly awakened Forsaken who has escaped the Lich King’s control.
Rather than continuing Baldur’s Gate 3’s existing storyline, players embark on a separate adventure centred on the struggle to reclaim Lordaeron.
According to the official Nexus Mods release, the free campaign includes:
- More than 20 new quests.
- Over 30 combat encounters.
- More than 60 handcrafted NPCs and traders.
- New dungeons, settlements and explorable areas.
- Custom enemies, equipment, puzzles and hidden secrets.
- Original dialogue, cutscenes and class-specific interactions.
The first act is designed for characters between levels 1 and 5, with combat balanced towards experienced players.
November Update Adds New Companions and Quests
The latest version, 0.7.1, introduces four additional recruitable companions: Kelantir, Dark Ranger Velonara, Lilian Voss and Gunther Arcanus.
Together with the existing companion Darnell, this brings the current selection to five.
However, the creator cautions that companion development remains incomplete. Players can recruit them, but individual storylines, personal quests and unique post-recruitment dialogue are not yet implemented.
The update also introduces The Truth of the Grave, a new quest, alongside additional dialogue and cutscenes.
Several gameplay adjustments have been made, including fewer enemies in certain Deathknell encounters, reduced difficulty checks and a fix for a dialogue bug that previously prevented players from completing A New Plague.
I find the scale of this project particularly interesting because it goes well beyond the usual character customisation and equipment mods. Rebuilding a Warcraft location around Baldur’s Gate 3’s combat system, exploration and dialogue tools creates an experience with its own identity, even if it lacks the original game’s extensive branching narratives.
How to Download the Baldur’s Gate 3 Forsaken Mod
Forsaken is available free through Nexus Mods, although players must already own the PC version of Baldur’s Gate 3.
Installation can be handled through a compatible mod manager or by manually placing the downloaded .pak file in the game’s Mods folder. Players must then enable the campaign through the in-game Mod Manager before starting a new game.
Multiplayer is supported, provided everyone has the same mod installed without conflicting files.
The creator has confirmed that Forsaken will not be released through mod.io or on consoles. Unlike the 20 free console mods added to Baldur’s Gate 3 in June, this custom campaign is limited to the PC modding community.
The project also arrives after Larian Studios released its final major Baldur’s Gate 3 content update in April 2025.
Larian has ruled out developing official expansions or additional major narrative content, although its modding tools continue to support community creations.
Forsaken currently includes Act 1, with no confirmed release date for Act 2. The creator plans further quests, dialogue improvements and companion development as work continues.
