E3 2021 isn’t just for console gamers. The PC Gaming show is making a return, and promising a smorgasbord of reveals, announcements, and interviews for all PC gaming enthusiasts. The show has typically been home to some of the more out-there announcements as well, so expect some wackiness. Of course, there won’t be anything on par with Devolver Digital’s yearly showcase, but viewers can almost certainly look forward to more games.

Here’s everything you can expect from the PC Gaming Show.

The long, winding road to Baldur’s Gate 3 was paved with these Larian games
Divine Divinity (2002) gameplay

A career-crowning achievement as monumental as Baldur's Gate 3 doesn't come out of nowhere. From Divinity to Dungeons & Dragons, Larian Studios has long been one of the loudest advocates for rich storytelling and true, meaningful freedom in Western RPGs.

A stone ring sits on a pedestal in Islands of Insight.

Islands of Insight, an open-world puzzle game by Behvaiour Interactive and Lunarch Studios, will launch on February 13. It's coming exclusively to PC and will retail for $30. A public demo for it will be available from February 5 to February 12 on Steam.
