With millions of copies sold, extensive critical acclaim and numerous awards, Baldur’s Gate 3 is prepping for its biggest patch yet. Patch 7 arrives in September, and while it adds new cinematics for evil playthroughs and the official modding toolkit, there’s much more to look forward to.
In a new Steam Community post, Larian Studios confirms that dynamic split-screen support is included. It allows for merging screens when both players are nearby in and out of combat. Honour Mode is also adding more Legendary Actions for enemies. For example, Dror Ragzlin, who appears in the Goblin Camp, can command the nearby spiders to attack you with the Arachnid Compulsion spell.
The post offers more teases for the upcoming evil cinematics, but it also confirms that they’ll be available for custom and Origin characters. You don’t have to play The Dark Urge and perform nefarious deeds for the new cutscenes.
As for the modding toolkit, here’s everything that players can edit or create with it (check out the official FAQ for more):
- Items – Equipment like weapons and armours, consumables, and miscellaneous items.
- Cosmetics – Including different hair, beards, and other textures.
- Classes and Subclasses – Creating new variants or modifying existing ones to edit abilities, powers, and skills.
- Races – These can be created and edited to determine overall appearance, as well as their individual powers and abilities.
- Dice Skins – You’ll also have the ability to edit or redesign the appearance of your dice skins!
- User Interface – Including extensions and restyling of the game UI.
- Quality of Life Improvements – Such as mods that edit or improve gameplay that don’t rely on unsupported elements.
Patch 7 lacks a release date, so stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks. Baldur’s Gate 3 is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC.
