Jason Isaacs Revealed as Baldur’s Gate 3 Antagonist

New trailer reveals antagonist Lord Enver Gortash, played by acclaimed actor Jason Isaacs, alongside J.K. Simmons’ General Ketheric Thorm

DUBLIN June 8, 2023 — Today’s Summer Game Fest showcase saw the reveal of a second antagonist for Larian Studios’ highly anticipated upcoming RPG, Baldur’s Gate 3. Lord Enver Gortash, commander of a mechanical army of Steel Watchers and a Lord in the city of Baldur’s Gate, will be played by award-winning actor Jason Isaacs, best known for roles such as Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter series and Captain Hook in 2003’s Peter Pan.

After the recent disappearance of Duke Ravengard, the city of Baldur’s Gate has turned to Lord Enver Gortash, the up-and-coming designer of the Steel Watchers – magical clockwork warriors created to defend the city. As the newly minted protector of Baldur’s Gate, Gortash stands as one of the most powerful figures within its walls.

As players arrive to the titular city of Baldur’s Gate, they’ll find themselves in the middle of a perilous power struggle, with many factions and powers vying for political control of this complex organism of a city. Isaacs’ acting chops help bring an additional layer of depth to the characters players will meet in Baldur’s Gate – a place where it’s already difficult to distinguish friend from foe – as a major antagonist to be contended with as you venture into the morally gray alleys and docklands of the game’s sprawling city.

“It was a thrill to join the Baldur’s Gate universe, but I fear that the magnificent Lord Enver Gortash is being mischaracterized as a villain,” said Jason Issacs. “In a brutal world of betrayals and butchery, he’s learned to lie better and backstab first. The joy in voicing him – apart from the obvious pleasure in getting to look so glorious – was that the creative team and I got to play loose enough to find ways that he could enjoy the ride and make the players hate him more!”

Isaacs has brought decades of experience in acting the villain into the recording booth, tweaking lines between takes and adding additional depth and flavor to the character of Gortash. Larian teased the reveal on Monday with this clip of J.K. Simmons’ General Ketheric Thorm addressing Gortash (Twitter).

Baldur’s Gate 3 is set to release on PC and PlayStation 5 on Aug. 31, 2023.

John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando, an Explosive Co-op FPS Inspired by ‘80s Horror & Action, Revealed at Summer Game Fest

Buddy-movie vibes meet over-the-top action in this frenzied co-op FPS powered by Saber’s Swarm Engine

PARIS June 8, 2023 — Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Saber Interactive are thrilled to reveal John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando, coming in 2024 to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via the Epic Games Store. Tag team with up to four players in this intense first-person shooter and battle massive hordes of mutated monstrosities to eradicate a supernatural outbreak before it’s too late.

Watch the exhilarating reveal trailer, which premiered at the Summer Game Fest live showcase, for a first taste of the title’s over-the-top gameplay and John Carpenter-inspired ‘80s vibes, packed with tons of action, humor and horror.

“We’re happy to team up once again with our historical partner Saber,” said John Bert, Managing Director at Focus Entertainment. “After World War Z, Space Marine 2, Insurgency, SnowRunner, and many others, Toxic Commando is a new entry into the successful long-term relationship between Focus and Saber. We cannot wait to unveil more about this new amazing IP created by the talented teams at Saber and leverage Focus’ expertise in turning new franchises into worldwide hits.” 

“We’re excited to partner with our friends at Focus again, and thrilled to collaborate with the legendary John Carpenter on this project,” said Tim Willits, Chief Creative Officer at Saber Interactive. “His unique vision, unparalleled expertise in storytelling, and ability to create immersive atmospheres have helped us to elevate this all-new, ‘80s-inspired experience to the next level. His works have been an inspiration for years, and it’s an honor to work alongside him to deliver a truly unforgettable adventure.”

“It’s exciting to be collaborating on a new video game with Focus and Saber,” said John Carpenter. “Look, I really like shooting zombies. They keep telling me that they’re called ’the infected.’ Please. They’re ghouls, dude. They blow up real good and there are a ton of them. People are going to love this game.”

You may not be the best team of mercenaries but you are a Toxic Commando!

In the near future, an experimental attempt to harness the power of the Earth’s core ends in a terrifying disaster: the release of the Sludge God. This eldritch abomination begins terraforming the area, turning soil to scum and the living to undead monsters. Luckily, the genius behind the experiment has a plan to make things right. All he needs is a team of competent, highly trained mercenaries to get the job done.

Unfortunately, they were all too expensive. Which is why he’s hired… the Toxic Commandos!

Take control of one of the commandos, team up with your friends, and send the Sludge God and its horde of things-that-should-never-be back to the underworld. Choose the class that matches your playstyle, pile into your favorite ride, and unload an array of gunfire, grenades, special abilities, and freaking katanas as you save the planet!

Whether behind the wheel of a vehicle or on foot, players will face off against massive hordes of mutated creatures, all powered by Saber’s Swarm Engine, the technology behind World War Z: Aftermath and the upcoming Space Marine 2.

John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando will be released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC in 2024. Wishlist the game now on the Epic Games Store, follow on Twitter for updates, and sign up as a Focus member to get the latest exclusive info and upcoming special offers for Toxic Commando and the whole Focus catalog.
