What’s New? Cross-Play, Subclasses, and More!

Larian Studios has rolled out Patch 8, marking the last major content update for this acclaimed RPG. It’s packed with thrilling features including cross-platform multiplayer, an exciting new photo mode, and a fresh set of subclasses that revamp gameplay for all classes.

Say Goodbye to Console Barriers!

12 New Subclasses: Game-Changer Alert!

Every core class gets a makeover with brand-new subclasses that broaden the horizons of gameplay. Whether you crave arcane precision, necromantic power, or want to charm foes, there’s something for everyone!

Highlights include the dazzling Swashbuckler for Rogues and the ethereal Circle of Stars for Druids. Each subclass isn’t just eye candy; expect unique mechanics, fresh spells, and custom animations that redefine your approach!

A New Era of Creativity: Photo Mode

Ever dreamed of capturing that perfect in-game moment? The new photo mode lets you freeze time, adjust lighting, add filters, and even change character poses. Activate it easily with a keystroke or a button click in real-time scenarios—snap away during battles or while exploring, but keep it off during dialogue!

Steam Cards and More for PC Gamers!

PC players are in for a treat with the introduction of Steam Trading Cards, allowing you to craft profile badges, and unlock exclusive emotes and backgrounds linked to your favorite game.

Modding tools are also upgraded, enabling creators to introduce new NPCs and build engaging environments, although some restrictions remain.
