As Baldur’s Gate 3 continues to take home awards, Larian Studios is steadily improving the game with patches and content updates. Most recently, the developer has outlined its plans for Patch 7, which will bring a slew of new features to Baldur’s Gate 3, including official mod tools and additional content to the end of the story for players walking the path of evil.

The latest details on Larian’s plans for BG3 came from a community post on Steam. In discussing the upcoming Patch 7, Larian says that the update will “add improved evil endings to the game for even darker conclusions to your most sinister playthroughs.” These endings will extend to players who aren’t explicitly following the Dark Urge.

Patch 7 will also introduce Larian Studios’ official mod tools for Baldur’s Gate 3. These tools will allow players to alter characters' stats, animations, and visuals. The mod scene for BG3 is already flourishing on third-party platforms, but adding Larian’s proprietary mod tools should make the process easier for more players.

In addition to everything coming with Patch 7, Larian Studios has confirmed that it’s currently working on implementing crossplay support for Baldur’s Gate 3. Once work on BG3 has wrapped up, the studio will shift its full focus to its next project, which CEO Swen Vincke has already confirmed will not be Baldur’s Gate 4. However, Hasbro is interested in getting another Baldur’s Gate game in development, even if they have to get another studio to make it.
