Cross-play is set to unite players across all platforms where the game is available, whether you’re on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, or even on Windows and Mac. Meanwhile, the photo mode will let you play around with a host of camera options, including different lenses and scene settings. You’ll also be able to use post-processing effects, frames, and stickers to craft a vibe that’s either cool, cute, or downright menacing for your party setting.
Moreover, every class in Baldur’s Gate 3 is getting an exciting new subclass as you level up. Take the College of Glamour, for instance; it opens up more avenues for Bards to both heal allies and charm foes. On the other hand, if you’re playing as a Monk, you might want to explore the Drunken Master subclass, which lets you tap into your inventory of alcohol to boost their abilities.
For those interested in the nitty-gritty details, here’s a complete list of all the new subclasses paired with their original classes.
Larian Studios, the creative minds behind Baldur’s Gate 3, hasn’t nailed down an exact release date for Patch 8 just yet. However, eager players have an opportunity to sneak a peek at what’s in store by joining a stress test that’s penciled in for early January. Keep your eyes peeled for more info on how to get involved.
While Larian has been quite forthcoming about their plans for the series’ future—confirming there won’t be a Baldur’s Gate 4 or even additional content for Baldur’s Gate 3—it’s evident they aim to close out the development with aplomb, especially given its accolade as the 2023 Game of the Year.
