Baldur’s Gate 3’s game-changing Patch 7 was seen as Larian drawing a line under the phenomenally popular Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, but the developer has said there’s more to come.
Patch 7, out now on PC but delayed on consoles and Mac (check out the Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 7 patch notes here), is headlined by the addition of official mod support, 13 new cinematics that offer varying conclusions to your most evil playthroughs (some really are something!), Honour Mode improvements and new Legendary Actions, and revamped split-screen gameplay.
Larian has announced plans to leave Baldur’s Gate 3 and indeed Dungeons & Dragons behind to make brand new games, but Patch 7 isn’t quite the finish line some might have thought.
“Good news kids it’s not the final update,” tweeted Larian head of publishing Michael Douse. “We ain’t gonna talk about what’s coming for the game because it puts undue pressure on the devs, but there are things we’ve said we’ll do that are still coming, and the chefs must cook.”
So, what can fans expect from a future patch? Larian has said it’s still working on both crossplay and a photo mode, alongside other fixes and updates. The question is whether Baldur’s Gate 3 will get any more major patches, like Patch 7, that significantly change either the story or add meaningful new gameplay features.
While we wait to find out, check out IGN's recently published interview with Larian, in which the developer reflects on Baldur's Gate 3's success and discusses its future plans, for more.
