Get ready to dust off your adventure gear because the long-awaited final major update for one of the greatest RPGs of all time has arrived! That’s right—Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 8 is now live, and it’s the cherry on top of an already fantastic game, much to the delight of fans everywhere.
As Larian Studios prepares to venture into a brand-new gaming universe, this Patch 8 serves as a grand farewell to the beloved Baldur’s Gate saga. While minor updates may still come, this patch is shaping up to be the epic conclusion we’ve all been waiting for! And trust me, it’s packing a punch with some stellar features:
-
12 New Subclasses: One for each class, including the Path of the Giant Barbarian, College of Glamour Bard, Hexblade Warlock, Drunken Master Monk, and more.
-
Cross-Play Support: Players on PC, Mac, Xbox, and PlayStation can now enjoy multiplayer together, breaking down platform barriers.
-
Photo Mode: Capture your in-game moments with various filters, stickers, and camera options, allowing for creative expression.
Over the past few months, Larian has been tantalizing us with sneak peeks of these new subclasses. Want to be a suave Swashbuckler Rogue, channel your inner pirate like Captain Jack Sparrow? Or perhaps you’d like to delve into the shadows as a soul-siphoning Hexblade Warlock? And let’s not forget about the Drunken Master Monk, who’s just as likely to knock out foes as he is to knock back a drink! This lineup is nothing short of impressive and will undoubtedly give you even more reasons to respec your character or dive back into the world of BG3 for another thrilling playthrough.
Now, a little birdie told me that Larian might have jumped the gun earlier this year by accidentally releasing Patch 8 for some players. Oops! But worry not, because the official launch has now rolled out.
But wait, there’s more! Larian will be hosting a live Twitch stream featuring senior systems designer Ross Stephens. He’ll take us on a deeper dive into these exciting new subclasses and reveal everything included in Patch 8. I’m sure we’ll also get our hands on a hefty set of patch notes before then to keep us in the loop.
