Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 8 is Adding New Subclasses, Crossplay, and Photo Mode
In the update, Larian confirmed it plans to “bid Faerûn adieu in search of stranger shores” after the release of Patch 8. Given the studio revealed itsplans to move on fromBaldur’s Gate 3a long time ago, it doesn’t come as a surprise, but it’s still sad to see. Photo Mode and Crossplay were the two major features it had been touting for a while now, so it makes sense that the studio would be done once it had released them. The good news is that thanks to the release of the game’s official modding tools,Baldur’s Gate 3will still be getting new community-made content for many years to come.
