In a new community update, Larian Studios He has shared a brief overview Of all the things he's working on for the next Baldur's Gate 3 patch.
Larian previously announced that Patch 7, which is set to release in September, will see the launch of official mod support and the introduction of a toolkit that will allow players to create their own mods. According to Larian, the toolkit allows for the creation of new items, classes and subclasses, races, and more.
I've been modding my games since the days of World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade and Dragon Age: OriginsHowever, I've always been intimidated by the idea of creating my own mods, even for games I love. I'm definitely interested in trying out the mod toolkit for myself, especially since a lot of the feedback Larian shared from modders attests to its ease of use. If the toolkit allows me to create new narrative content, essentially allowing me to recreate my fanfictions in-game, you'll never hear from me again.
In addition to mod and toolkit support, Patch 7 will also add a nifty dynamic split-screen co-op feature. Instead of co-op games being permanently split into split-screen mode, players will have an option that will merge the two screens into one if players are close to each other. It looks pretty cool in action.
Narrative-wise, Patch 7 will add tweaks and updates to side stories, dialogue, and romance content. Larain will also add new cinematics that reflect some of the game's more evil endings for Origin and Dark Impulse characters.
While this upcoming update feels like Larian's final goodbye to… Baldur's Gate 3 As it moves on to other projects, the studio has reaffirmed that Patch 7 is not the final update for the game. Crossplay and photo mode are also on the way. In the meantime, it's giving players the chance to try out Patch 7 ahead of its September release in a closed beta that you can sign up for on the website. Baldur's Gate 3 Steam Page.
