Baldur’s Gate 3 – Patch 8 Rolls Out on April 15

Developer Larian Studios announced the special livestream celebrating the final major update arriving for Baldur’s Gate 3: Patch 8. Join the team on Twitch or the Channel From Hell on April 16th at 1pm UTC for a special show hosted by Aoife Wilson featuring a guest appearance from Senior Systems Designer Ross Stephens. Together, they will be taking a closer look at Patch 8, including the new subclasses!

In case you have missed a more detailed look at the subclasses, Larian released three separate videos, giving each a small overview:

• Part 1: College of Glamour Bard, Path of Giants Barbarian, Death Domain Cleric, Circle of The Stars Druid
• Part 2: Oath of the Crown Paladin, Arcane Archer Fighter, Drunken Master Monk, Swarmkeeper Ranger
• Part 3: Swashbuckler Rogue, Shadow Magic Sorcerer, Hexblade Warlock, Bladesinging Wizard

Baldur’s Gate 3 – Patch 8 Major Additions Include:

• Cross-play – Baldur’s Gate 3 multiplayer will soon feature full cross-platform progression, including cross-play – just as the gaming gods intended. Once the update is live you’ll be able to invite your friends to join your cross-play lobby directly, regardless of platform and find available multiplayer lobbies with friends on other systems using the Larian Network.
• Photo Mode. Baldur’s Gate 3’s Photo Mode is a little like a photo booth that lets you set up pretty much any shot you’d like. This new feature introduces a whole slew of options to let you customise and edit your in-game photography, with various levels of freedom depending on whether you’re using it while adventuring, or during combat, dialogue, and cinematic scenes.
• 12 New Subclasses.
• Xbox Series S Split-screen co-op.

Check out the official announcement for tips on testing cross-play, modded games, Xbox Series S split-screen co-op, and more. Of course, the game will also receive gameplay and QoL changes, combat fixes, some adjustments to modding and much more.
