Baldur's Gate 3's transformative patch 8, with 12 new subclasses and photo mode, will finally launch next week

Baldur's Gate 3.

Larian has finally announced a date for Baldur's Gate 3 patch eight, an enormous update to our 2023 game of the year and Top 100 champion. The update will go live on Tuesday, April 15, with a special launch stream on Larian's YouTube Channel From Hell set for the following day.

All of BG3's numbered updates have been quite substantial: Patch five at the end of 2023 introduced the permadeath Honour mode, while the most recent patch seven expanded BG3's evil endings with new cutscenes. Taken together, they add up to a sort of "Definitive Edition" final pass, much as Larian did with its Original Sin games.
