Larian Studios isn’t done with big updates for Baldur’s Gate 3 just yet. The studio is planning yet another quality-of-life update for the game with Patch 8.
“Arriving next year, this update will introduce some of the most eagerly awaited features to BG3: cross-play, and photo mode, along with 12 new subclasses,” Larian wrote on its Steam Community page.
Cross play will introduce multiplayer capabilities between any of the game’s platforms including Steam, PC, Mac, Xbox, and PlayStation. Cross platform multiplayer progression will also be added.
Another big community ask that Patch 8 will satisfy is the addition of photo mode. The feature will come with a robust suite of options including poses for party members, picture frames, photo filters, and stickers.
Finally, the game will get 12 additional subclasses, one for every base class in the game. Here’s the list:
Bard – College of Glamour
Barbarian – Path of Giants
Cleric – Death Domain
Druid – Circle of Stars
Paladin – Oath of the Crown
Fighter – Arcane Archer
Monk – Drunken Master
Ranger – Swarmkeeper
Rogue – Swashbuckler
Sorcerer – Shadow Magic
Warlock – Hexblade
Wizard – Bladesinging
The post goes into detail about each subclass with many of them incorporating homebrewed elements straight from the developers’ creativity.
Larian has said it won’t add any major story content updates or DLC for Baldur’s Gate 3. But with these patches including the recent addition of official mod support, the developers have left the game in the best place for the community to continue the adventure without them. Patch 8 is scheduled to release next year.
