Patch #8 for Baldur's Gate 3 is shaping up to be one of the most eagerly awaited updates yet, promising to introduce cross-play capabilities, a photo mode, and an impressive array of 12 brand-new subclasses. In a recent video released by Larian Studios, 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.
With stress-testing currently in progress and additional rounds of sign-ups available, the community is buzzing with anticipation for the official rollout. Although the exact release date for Patch #8 remains a mystery, the studio is keeping fans engaged through sneak peeks, such as this latest video, which marks Part 1 of a series dedicated to exploring all 12 subclasses.
Fans can look forward to two more trailers that will showcase the remaining subclasses, giving everyone ample time to prepare for the upcoming changes. The stress-test phase, which began in January, also introduced a significant update featuring the new photo mode. As the final major patch, Patch #8 will mark the end of the game's post-launch development cycle, leaving the community eagerly anticipating what the future holds for Baldur's Gate 3.
