The upcoming addition of cross-play to the game is set to connect players across all platforms where it’s available—whether you’re on a PlayStation 5, an Xbox Series X, or using a Windows or Mac system. This feature promises seamless multiplayer experiences no matter your setup. Meanwhile, the new photo mode is designed to let players get creative with their captures. You can tweak camera angles, play around with lens settings, and choose from a range of post-processing effects. Plus, you’ll have the ability to add frames and stickers to inject a bit of personality into your shots, whether you’re aiming for cool, cute, or downright intimidating vibes.
On top of these enhancements, there’s exciting news for fans of Baldur’s Gate 3: every class is being treated to a brand-new subclass. So, as you level up, you’ll have fresh options to explore. Take the College of Glamour, for example; it gives Bards a cool edge, enhancing their skills to heal friends and charm foes. Meanwhile, those rolling with the Monk will find the Drunken Master subclass particularly interesting, as it cleverly incorporates alcohol from the inventory to boost abilities.
For those keen to dive deeper, here’s what you can expect in terms of subclasses aligned with each starter class.
Now, I know you’re eager for updates on Patch 8, but Larian Studios is still holding off on locking in a release date. However, Baldur’s Gate 3 enthusiasts won’t have to wait too long to get in on some of the action. An early look through a stress test is on the horizon, aimed for early January. Stay tuned for more details on how to join this preview.
Even as Larian Studios shares its vision for what’s to come, it’s worth noting that they’re not planning to develop Baldur’s Gate 4 or release any downloadable content for the current installment. But rest assured, they’re setting out to wrap up Baldur’s Gate 3 in spectacular fashion, befitting 2023’s Game of the Year contender.
