A talented Baldur's Gate 3 fan has shared their awesome Shadowheart cosplay, as she appears in-game when wearing the Wavemother's Robe. Shadowheart is one of the most popular companions in Baldur's Gate 3, and one gamer has brought her to life in impressive fashion.

Gamers have been immediately taken in by the aesthetic in Baldur's Gate 3. Larian's RPG has inspired a ton of awesome cosplays so far, with more being created all the time by the game's community. Thanks to the visually distinct cast in Baldur's Gate 3, anyone can get involved, which is perhaps why there have been so many since the game's August release. Just recently, one Baldur's Gate 3 player shared their amazing Lae'zel cosplay, showcasing amazing attention to detail to bring the character to life. The cosplay community online has always been amazing, and Baldur's Gate 3 has brought a ton of great inspiration to the table.

Redditor Zureeal shared their fantastic Baldur's Gate 3 cosplay, which imagines Shadowheart wearing the Wavemother's Robe from the game. The Wavemother's Robe can be acquired by completing the Avenge the Drowned quest in Baldur's Gate 3, and while not Shadowheart's default attire, is a frequent choice for players to keep on their companions due to how immediately striking it is. In Zureeal's case, this version of the Wavemother's Robes compliments the cosplay perfectly, which includes details such as the Spear of Night, the Mysterious Artefact, and Shadowheart's white hair after turning her back on Shar. According to Zureeal, the impressive project took months, as "so many things didn't go to plan."

Since the launch of Baldur's Gate 3, Shadowheart has proven to be an instant fan favorite. She has some of the best character development in the entire game, with her storyline centered around her conflicted devotion to the goddess Shar. Her romance is one of the most interesting in the game, too, meaning Shadowheart has proven extremely popular when it comes to the many Baldur's Gate 3 fan creations seen over the last few months. Some are even bringing her to other titles, too - one gamer recreated Shadowheart as their protagonist in Dragon's Dogma 2.

When it comes to the game itself, the future of Baldur's Gate should be interesting to follow. With Larian Studios not working on DLC or a sequel to Baldur's Gate 3, it will fall to Hasbro to find a new developer to take the series forward. However, Larian leaves an enormous act to follow, and every title in the series in the future will likely be compared to Baldur's Gate 3. Let's see how it pans out with an open mind about what's to come.
