Baldur’s Gate 3, the Larian Studios epic, never fails to surprise. If you thought the game-winning Game of the Year at TGA 2023 was big, hold the thought. One of the biggest entertainers and dance legends ever has just graced the world of Baldur’s Gate 3 and the players couldn’t be more excited. 

The ongoing year has been all about some big celebrity collaborations with gaming. Fortnite, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, Call of Duty, Starfield, the list of titles that have brought big stars of the entertainment industry to the gaming world goes on. But this time, a player brought Michael Jackson to BG3.

Fan recreates the magic of King of Pop in Baldur’s Gate 3 

A Baldur’s Gate 3 player has taken the internet by storm by creating a character resembling Michael Jackson. This was done through a Nexus game mode uploaded on December 17. Basically, the mod replaces the Astarion head model with a sculpture they made. However, the mod does not include LODs, but players can get access to a present file that changes hair color, skin color, and other appearing features. Courtesy of this created mod, the fan was able to bring a Michael Jackson resembling character into the D&D universe. 

The description of the mod states that the recreation is intended as humor. “Astarion about to moonwalk,” the description reads, referencing MJ’s iconic dance move.
