Baldur’s Gate’s huge patch 7 went stay yesterday, including a slew of latest content material, enhancements, and built-in mod help. But that is not the tip of the story, as Larian says it nonetheless has extra to come back.
We known as patch 7 the “remaining main replace” for Baldur’s Gate 3, an outline largely impressed by Larian’s personal phrases within the patch notes. “We’ve nonetheless bought just a few extra patches up our sleeve for Baldur’s Gate 3—which can embody each crossplay and photograph mode, alongside different fixes and updates,” Larian wrote. “But finally all tales should come to an finish.
“As Swen stated throughout final week’s PAX West panel in Seattle—our remaining stay panel for Baldur’s Gate 3—it’s time for the crew to return to our cave and cling the armour on the wall whereas we give attention to bringing you our subsequent mission.”
But shortly after the story went stay, Larian clarified that it isn’t absolutely completed with the sport simply but.
Okay, a pensive pingu is not the clearest clarification ever, however Larian shortly clarified the clarification with a brief followup message: “Patch 7 isn’t our remaining replace. Crossplay continues to be being labored on!”
Larian publishing chief Michael Douse additionally weighed in, tweeting, “Good information children it isn’t the ultimate replace.”
“We ain’t gonna speak about what’s coming for the sport as a result of it places undue stress on the devs,” Douse wrote, “however there are issues we’ve stated we’ll do which can be nonetheless coming, and the cooks should cook dinner.”
Larian communications director Luke Karmali emphasised the “not speaking about it” angle in his personal tweet, and was additionally apparently able to throw palms over the entire thing.
(For the file, I do not suppose Luke was really ready to do violence over this, however I do benefit from the psychological picture of him packing a blade and hopping a airplane for PC Gamer HQ like a personality from Kill Bill.)
Despite that reluctance to speak, we all know of no less than just a few issues which can be within the oven, as a result of, effectively, Larian already stated so: Crossplay, a photograph mode, and people “different fixes and updates” talked about in the latest patch notes. Does that depend as “main?” Being in a position to go adventuring together with your console buddies is a reasonably large deal, and there is lots of potential to do enjoyable issues with pictures, however in comparison with significant gameplay updates like the brand new endings we bought in patch 7—a few of them apparently fairly wrenching—I must say “no.”Â
Perhaps Larian disagrees (put the knife down, Luke), or possibly there are greater issues in retailer than we understand. Tales of the Sword Coast 2, anybody? No, in all probability not, however at this level, with all Larian has plowed into Baldur’s Gate 3 since its launch greater than a 12 months in the past, I’m not discounting something.
Speaking of reductions, Larian at present has each RPG it ever made on sale on Steam, which means you’ll be able to snag every little thing from Divine Divinity to Divinity: Original Sin 2 for simply over 30 bucks. Trust me, that is a deal.
