A Fond Farewell to a Phenomenon

Today marks a bittersweet moment as Larian Studios ushers in the final chapter of Baldur's Gate 3, a game that has captured the hearts of millions and elevated the studio to legendary status.

The Final Update: Patch 8 Delivers Excitement

Patch 8, the much-anticipated final content update, is now live! This update not only brings crossplay capabilities across PC, Mac, PlayStation, and Xbox but also introduces a thrilling photo mode, a dozen new subclasses, and the long-awaited split-screen multiplayer feature for Xbox Series S.

A Farewell Video and Special Cameo!

In a heartfelt blog post accompanying the patch launch, Larian includes a special animated short showcasing the beloved characters of Baldur's Gate 3 embarking on one last adventure. Fans will even spot a cheeky cameo from Swen Vincke, Larian's mastermind, adorned in his iconic suit of armor.

A Grateful Goodbye from Larian

In their touching farewell message, Larian stated, "You've helped us make BG3 a bigger success than any of us could've ever hoped for. Your passion has inspired us endlessly, but now it's time for us to create something new." As Vincke noted at last year’s PAX West retrospective, the team must now retreat to their creative cave and set aside their armor.

What’s Next for Larian Studios?

As for the future, Larian has teased that their next project will venture away from the Dungeons & Dragons universe. Described as "big and ambitious," the new game promises to be a fresh and innovative experience, one that marks a departure from their previous works.
