Ah, the summer. Outside the temperature is rising, the chemical aroma of sunscreen is inescapable, and your dad is on his third day wearing the same sweat-stained tank top. What better time than now to retreat indoors and catch up on the latest updates arriving in Baldur’s Gate 3?
Coming to you this September, Patch 7 rolls out the perfect escape with split screen updates, brand new cinematics for evil endings, plenty of bug fixes, plus our official modding toolkit which we talked more about in our last Community Update!
Let’s take a look! And as always, beware - spoilers lay ahead.
Split Screen Updates
Dynamic split screen mode is incoming! With our next update, friends will no longer be eternally confined to their side of the screen - because the power of friendship transcends all obstacles, including screen partitions.
When playing in co-op, you’ll now have the option to have split screens merge into a single screen when you near one another. You can access this directly from the HUD and within the game settings, both in and out of combat.
Honour Mode Improvements
We’re continuing to make improvements to combat in Honour Mode too. With Patch 7, even more creatures have been bestowed additional Legendary Actions, including the bulette, everyone’s favourite neighbourhood surgeon, Malus Thorm, and githyanki Ch'r'ai Tska'an, Ch'r'ai Har'rak, and Ptaris.
Dror Ragzlin will now also be able to use a new spell called Arachnid Compulsion to rally the spiders that reside in the nearby pit to fight the real enemy - you.
Baldur’s Gate 3 Modding Toolkit
With this update also comes our official modding toolkit! Come September, you'll be able to load up your game with a range of new game mods, and even try your hand at making some yourself.
We recommend giving our Modding FAQ a look for more information on what modding support means for Baldur’s Gate 3.
We’re currently working with Baldur’s Gate 3 Mod Authors during our Closed Alpha, who have been busy testing out the toolkit. To find out what some of the Mod Authors have been working on during the Closed Alpha, keep reading!
The Toolkit itself will give you everything you need to edit or create entirely new content, including:
- CosmeticItemsEquipment like weapons and armours, consumables, and miscellaneous items.
- CosmeticCosmeticsIncluding different hair, beards, and other textures.
- CosmeticClasses and SubclassesCreating new variants or modifying existing ones to edit abilities, powers, and skills.
- CosmeticRacesThese can be created and edited to determine overall appearance, as well as their individual powers and abilities.
- CosmeticDice SkinsYou’ll also have the ability to edit or redesign the appearance of your dice skins!
- CosmeticUser InterfaceIncluding extensions and restyling of the game UI.
Quality of Life Improvements - Such as some mods that edit or improve gameplay that don’t directly rely on tools outside of the Baldur’s Gate 3 Toolkit.
While we hope to make modding more accessible and increase mod compatibility with our mod manager and toolkit, third-party modding will still remain an option for players and creators. We do not plan to limit modding to only our official pipeline!
