Patch #8 for Baldur's Gate 3 is generating significant buzz among fans, promising to introduce highly anticipated features such as cross-play capabilities, a photo mode, and an impressive addition of 12 new subclasses. In a recent video release by Larian Studios, players were treated to an exclusive sneak peek at four of these subclasses: the enchanting Bard of the College of Enchantment, the mighty Barbarian of the Path of the Giant, the ominous Cleric of the Death Domain, and the celestial Druid of the Circle of Stars.
Currently, Larian Studios is conducting stress-tests for Patch #8, with additional rounds of sign-ups open to the community. While the exact release date remains undisclosed, the studio keeps the excitement alive by engaging with fans through a series of preview videos. The recent video is just the first part of a three-part series that will showcase all 12 new subclasses, providing players with ample time to prepare for the upcoming changes.
Following the initial video, two more trailers are scheduled to be released, each highlighting additional subclasses. The stress-test phase, which began in January, also introduced a major update featuring the much-anticipated photo mode. As the final major update in the post-launch development cycle of Baldur's Gate 3, Patch #8 is set to conclude the game's ongoing enhancements, leaving the community eagerly anticipating what the future holds for this beloved game.
