Cross-platform play is set to unite gamers across all systems, from the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X to Windows and Mac. Players can look forward to a photo mode packed with options—think camera angles, lens choices, and scene settings, along with post-processing effects, frames, and stickers. This feature is perfect for showing off your squad in style, whether you want them to look intimidating, adorable, or just plain cool.
On top of that, each class in Baldur’s Gate 3 will get an exciting new subclass to pick from as they level up. Take the Bards, for instance; by opting for the College of Glamour, they can better heal allies and charm foes. Meanwhile, the Monk’s Drunken Master path offers a unique twist by allowing players to drink their way to enhanced abilities using items from their inventory.
Here’s a look at the entire range of subclasses and their original classes. The team at Larian Studios, the minds behind Baldur’s Gate 3, has yet to settle on an exact release date for Patch 8. However, players eager to check out these new features early can participate in a stress test that they’re tentatively scheduling for early January. Details on how to get involved are on the way.
While Larian Studios has been transparent about their future plans—stating they won’t be making Baldur’s Gate 4 or even DLCs for Baldur’s Gate 3—they’re undeniably aiming to polish off the 2023 Game of the Year in spectacular fashion.
