Dark Horse Comics has teased an official Baldur’s Gate 3 comic-book series, with a full reveal scheduled for Thursday, October 9, 2026 at New York Comic Con, according to CBR (October 3, 2026). Trade coverage ties the project to Dark Horse’s broader Wizards of the Coast / Dungeons & Dragons pipeline rather than a surprise indie license.
Details remain limited. Creative team, issue count, plot, and on-sale dates were not published in the October 3 writeups. Promo art circulating in coverage highlights companions such as Astarion and Karlach, but that art is marketing color rather than a solicit synopsis. The hard calendar fact for now is the NYCC panel itself.
Dark Horse already fields several D&D titles that sit beside this tease: Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft, Total Party Killers, and a new mainline Dungeons & Dragons #1 dated November 4 in the same CBR roundup. The BG3 series is described as a separate Larian-linked collaboration, not a rebrand of those books. That pattern matches how Dark Horse has expanded other WotC lanes — including RCG’s earlier note on Magic: The Gathering — Mage of Zhalfir arriving through the same publisher.
Baldur’s Gate 3’s 2023 launch and awards run explain why a comics extension was always likely; the news today is simply that Dark Horse is ready to put a date on the announcement. Until October 9, shops and readers are waiting on creative credits and solicits rather than an immediate on-sale.
For Direct Market buyers, the practical takeaway is to watch coverage and Diamond/PRH solicits after the NYCC Thursday panel rather than allocate wall space this week. Formal street dates and creative teams should land with the Oct. 9 reveal and the next solicit cycle.
RCG will update when Dark Horse names the creative team, format, and first-issue timing. Until then, the confirmed story is straightforward: Dark Horse has teased an official Baldur’s Gate 3 comic, and the full details are scheduled for New York Comic Con on October 9, 2026.
