It’s been almost a year since the launch of Baldur’s Gate 3 and developer Larian Studios is ready to reveal their upcoming plans.

In a blog post on Steam, they claim that Baldur’s Gate 3 is the first game in history to win GOTY at every major awards show, and that they’re currently working on the next game update, Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 7, which will add improved evil endings to the game for even darker conclusions to your most sinister playthroughs, and yes, that includes you non-Durge players.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 7 also aims to fix several bugs that you have reported, including Jaheira’s unwillingness to follow the group and jump into combat, Wyll’s less-than-romantic greetings, as well as the mysteriously disappearing Narrator lines from the Gortash and Dark Urge confrontation, to name a few.

This next patch will also begin introducing official modding tools, letting you change up visuals, animations, sounds, stats, and more to overhaul Baldur’s Gate 3 into the weird nightmare realm of your dreams. Beyond Patch 7, they will continue focusing on bug fixes, performance enhancements, and stability improvements to ensure you have the best possible gaming experience.

Last but not least, they are also actively working on bringing Crossplay and a Photo Mode to Baldur’s Gate 3.

On the topic of the future, Larian Studios confirmed that they won’t be introducing any major new narrative content to the story of Baldur’s Gate 3 or its origin characters and companions, nor will they be making expansions of Baldur’s Gate 4.

They also confirmed that they are currently working on two new projects unrelated to Baldur’s Gate.

Larian Studios Swen Vincke said:

“I don’t know if we’re going to pull it off, but looking at our narrative, visual and gameplay plans, I think what we’re working on now will be our best work ever. I get excited like a kid watching the key imagery, want to show it to everyone now and grumble in frustration at having to wait until it’s actually all working. Yes, it’s hype but it’s hype because it really looks and feels good.” – Excited Swen, April 17th 2024.

 Baldur’s Gate 3 was originally launched for PC and Mac via Steam and GOG on 3 August 2023, as well as for PS5 on 6 September 2023.
