Developer Larian Studios has revealed that the much-awaited (and maybe last) Patch 7 for Baldur’s Gate 3 will launch on PC this week.
A video of CEO Swen Vincke announcing the release timeframe at PAX West was posted on the studio’s X/Twitter account, although no particular date was given. He stated last week that “Patch 7 is coming out next week,” which indicates that it would be available between September 2 and September 8, 2024.
Although Larian had previously stated that Patch 7 would be available in September, the release date for the console and Mac versions is still unknown. “Do not worry, you will be killing your foes and installing mods in no time. With so many improvements and new features arriving in this patch, it will take a bit longer to get these to you on console and Mac,” the message stated.
Vincke added the following to this: “We will begin with the PC version. Due to the numerous submission procedures it must go through, the console version will be released somewhat later. Additionally, it allows us ‘time to see what goes wrong and improve it to have it ready for console release.”
Baldur’s Gate 3 is expected to get a lot of changes and additions in Patch 7, the most notable of which is the official mod support for PC and console. As Vincke stated in June 2024 that he and the team “truly want to move forward and do new things,” gamers “will see the level of support diminished to extremely essential bug fixes,” suggesting that this would likely be the last significant update for Baldur’s Gate 3.
Baldur’s Gate 3, a Dungeons & Dragons game, was an unexpected hit in 2023. Fans were captivated by the game’s supposedly endless possibilities for handling an infinite variety of scenarios.
“Baldur’s Gate 3 is the new high-water mark for CRPGs,” Gamexta wrote in our 10/10 review of the game. “It has crunchy, tactical RPG combat, a fascinating tale with nuanced characters, highly polished cinematic presentation, and a world that always encourages exploration and inventiveness.”
