Patch 7 Release Marks Final Moment to Hand Baldur's Gate 3 Over to Players
Larian Studios head Swen Vincke revealed that a patch introducing mod support will be the last major update to Baldur's Gate 3.
Baldur's Gate 3 has received six major updates since its release last year. The last of them (released in February) introduced a number of changes with improved kissing animation at the forefront. Larian Studios has been working diligently on the seventh patch, which will ultimately be the final one to bring in such a significant amount of new content and improvements.
During a meeting organized by BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts), the creator of Baldur's Gate 3, Swen Vincke, revealed that the update, which will introduce official modding tools, will be the "final moment of handing over" the game to players.
One of the big things for us, and the one that we're really working towards now, is the ability for players to mod Baldur's Gate 3 themselves. And I think that will be the point where we're going to say 'ok, now it's yours fully' -- explained the developer (via Eurogamer).
However, the dev emphasized that the release of the update doesn't mean that the support for the RPG will be terminated. On the contrary, Larian Studios still plans to improve its title, but the changes will be on a much smaller scale. So we can mainly expect small patches that fix existing bugs in the game.
Let's remind that the mentioned seventh update is set to hit Baldur’s Gate 3 in September this year. The update will also feature enhanced negative outcomes, in addition to giving players the tools to create their own game mods. Furthermore, the new cinematics will feature a soundtrack composed by Borislav Slavov, the in-house composer of Larian studio.
