The end ofBaldur’s Gate 3as we know it is imminent - or at least Larian Studios' entertaining panels about the Dungeons & Dragons RPG probably are.
Baldur’s Gate 3 panels have brought fans some unforgettable highlights, from sex with a bear to deep dives intoShadowheart’s sass. Like all good things though, Larian’s discussions are coming to an end - with a grand finale typical of the mastermind studio underway to close things off properly. In apostregarding the upcoming PAX West event, publishing director Michael “Cromwelp” Douse teases Larian’s concluding panel.
“This’ll be a lively, cathartic panel,” he writes, “and probably the last time you’ll see the guys talk about BG3’s development.” A bittersweet moment indeed - but that doesn’t mean that it’ll mark the end of Larian’s brilliant work. Douse reveals that while the team will soon “close the book” on Baldur’s Gate 3, developers will “put our heads down for what’s next” afterward - perhaps the"two games"they’ve previously discussed.
That’s not to say that Larian’s finished with Baldur’s Gate 3, either - the community has Patch 7 and all of its exciting additions to anticipate, includingthe RPG’s official mod toolkitand some steamy updates to"the art of snogging.“Besides,Patch 7 won’t be the RPG’s final update after all- so there’s likely plenty of banter and blood to enjoy for months to come until the team finishes cooking itsnext two projectsup.

After spending years with her head in various fantastical realms' clouds, Anna studied English Literature and then Medieval History at the University of Edinburgh, going on to specialize in narrative design and video game journalism as a writer. She has written for various publications since her postgraduate studies, including Dexerto, Fanbyte, GameSpot, IGN, PCGamesN, and more. When she’s not frantically trying to form words into coherent sentences, she’s probably daydreaming about becoming a fairy druid and befriending every animal or she’s spending a thousand (more) hours traversing the Underdark in Baldur’s Gate 3. If you spot her away from her PC, you’ll always find Anna with a fantasy book, a handheld video game console of some sort, and a Tamagotchi or two on hand.
