Baldur’s Gate 3’s beefy patch 7 will finally drop next week

At the end of a PAX West panel looking back on the development and reception of Baldur’s Gate 3, Larian boss Swen Vincke revealed that the game’s highly anticipated Patch 7 will finally arrive next week after months of teasers and playtesting.

We first heard about Patch 7 back in April, and the marquee additions are official mod support and overhauled evil endings. On the modding front, we won’t be seeing a full campaign-building toolset like Divinity: Original Sin 2 had, but BG3’s tools and support will make it far easier to create and install custom classes, UI elements, spells, QoL fixes, dice, and more. Further, the official tools will hopefully make it less likely that future patches⁠—Larian has said it’s almost, but not quite done tweaking BG3⁠—will bork your mods or modded saves. Patch 7 definitely will though, at least until mod authors catch up, so watch out for that.
