If they got all three of those things going for them then they might hit that deadline, and I guess if we consider the EA telemetry all the play-testing they'll need it could be possible. Although Ideally they put some elbow grease into online and by some miracle make it good cause right now it very much works but it's not a fun experience.

I was actually pretty disappointed in DOS2 when, after all the build up throughout the game, we finally got to the great city of Arx and it was really just a few roads and maybe a couple dozen buildings. There’s no way at all Baldur’s Gate itself is going to be anything but a major let-down, especially if they intend on keeping up this level of cinematic interaction for every single NPC. OK maybe if this game is released in 2025. I’d love to be proven wrong!
