My Chemical Romance And Baldur’s Gate 3 Is The Unexpected Crossover Making My Monday Morning Better

My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way made an unexpected detour into video game discussion during the band’s recent Wembley Stadium concerts as part of The Black Parade 2026 Tour. Between songs, Way responded to a fan sign held by TikTok user Katana Luciana asking whether he had played Baldur’s Gate 3.

Way revealed that he hasn’t played the critically-acclaimed 2023 RPG, admitting instead that his experience with the series is limited to the original Baldur’s Gate and the Icewind Dale expansion. “I only ever played Baldur’s Gate 1,” he told the audience. “Not that I probably wouldn’t have liked 2 or 3. I did play the Icewind Dale expansion, but I just ran out of time.”

The frontman elaborated on his experience with the classic game, describing it as “a lot of fun, the closest thing at the time to playing D&D,” reflecting on how the original captured the tabletop experience for fans. The interaction quickly gained attention on social media, with developer Larian Studios responding to Way’s admission, engaging with the unexpected crossover between rock music and gaming culture. The exchange highlights the broad cultural reach of Baldur’s Gate 3 since its 2023 release.
