Patch #8 for Baldur's Gate 3 is generating significant buzz among fans, heralded as one of the most eagerly awaited updates due to its promise of cross-play capabilities, a new photo mode, and the introduction of 12 brand-new subclasses. In an exciting sneak peek provided by Larian Studios through a recent video, players were treated to an exclusive preview of four of these subclasses: the Bard of the College of Enchantment, Barbarian of the Path of the Giant, Cleric of the Death Domain, and Druid of the Circle of Stars.
As the community buzzes with anticipation, stress-testing for Patch #8 is currently in progress, with additional sign-up opportunities available for eager participants. While the exact release date remains shrouded in mystery, Larian Studios keeps the excitement alive by regularly engaging with the fanbase through these insightful previews. This latest video marks Part 1 of a planned series, which will eventually showcase all 12 new subclasses in detail.
Fans can look forward to two more trailers that will unveil the rest of the subclasses, providing ample time to prepare for the forthcoming changes. The stress-test phase began in January, during which the studio rolled out a significant update that introduced the much-anticipated photo mode. As the final major patch in the game's post-launch development cycle, Patch #8 is set to conclude Baldur's Gate 3's evolution, leaving the community both thrilled and curious about what the future holds.
