Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 8: A Game-Changer Arrives!
The highly anticipated Patch 8 for Baldur's Gate 3 is set to drop on April 15, and it's poised to reinvent your gaming experience! Larian Studios has officially announced this milestone update, promising thrilling new features that fans have been clamoring for.
12 Exciting New Subclasses Are Here!
This monumental patch introduces a dozen brand-new subclasses—one for each character class! Whether you're a spell-slinger, a stealthy rogue, or a valiant paladin, there's something fresh to explore.
What’s New? Cross-Play and More!
In addition to the subclasses, players can finally enjoy cross-play between different platforms! Prepare to join forces with friends no matter what device they’re on. Activating this feature is as simple as adjusting your multiplayer settings and adding friends using their Larian account names.
There’s also a split-screen co-op option introduced for Xbox Series S players, patching a gap that previously held back the game from launching on this console. Plus, a sleek new photo mode will let you capture your epic moments!
Important Cross-Play Details!
However, be mindful: if you're hosting a cross-play lobby, ensure your PC has less than 100 mods installed and stick to mods compatible with consoles and Mac users.
The Incredible New Subclasses
Here’s a sneak peek at the twelve exceptional subclasses making their debut: - **College of Glamour Bard** - **Path of Giants Barbarian** - **Death Domain Cleric** - **Circle of The Stars Druid** - **Oath of the Crown Paladin** - **Arcane Archer Fighter** - **Drunken Master Monk** - **Swarmkeeper Ranger** - **Swashbuckler Rogue** - **Shadow Magic Sorcerer** - **Hexblade Warlock** - **Bladesinging Wizard**
What’s Next for Baldur's Gate?
Following Patch 8, community anticipation is ramping up for future developments in the Baldur's Gate franchise. A Hasbro executive hinted at exciting plans including more news coming soon. However, Larian has clarified that their next project, codenamed Excalibur, will be a brand-new adventure and not a sequel to Baldur’s Gate 4.
