Major BG3 Patch Updates Urge Ending

Baldur's Gate 3's upcoming Patch 7 promises a chilling new evil ending, offering a terrifying glimpse into the consequences of a fully villainous playthrough.

A New Evil Ending for Baldur's Gate 3

Larian Studios recently unveiled a 52-second cinematic teaser on X (formerly Twitter), showcasing a new evil ending exclusive to Patch 7. The preview centers on the Dark Urge, highlighting the grim repercussions of succumbing to Bhaal's influence.

Spoiler Alert!

The teaser depicts the Dark Urge's companions meeting a horrific end as they witness their leader's descent into darkness and takeover of the Netherbrain. The Dark Urge, controlled by their father, forces their companions to their deaths, setting the stage for a reign of terror. A chilling voiceover declares, "Time for the final act. Your tragedy has become mankind's," before the Dark Urge suffers a similar fate.

This is just one of several new evil endings slated for Patch 7. Larian previously announced plans to enhance the game's evil endings, providing players with even darker conclusions to their wicked playthroughs – even if they aren't playing as the Dark Urge. Previously teased endings include the Dark Urge wading through a sea of blood and corpses, and a town consumed by "sheer mindless bliss" under the True Absolute.

What Else is Coming in Patch 7?

Patch 7 is a massive update, brimming with new features and improvements. In addition to the sinister new endings, players can expect a dynamic split-screen mode for cooperative play, enhanced Honour Mode challenges, and a highly anticipated modding toolkit.

Larian Studios has confirmed that this isn't the end of Baldur's Gate 3's development. With crossplay and photo mode on the horizon, the developers are committed to ongoing improvements based on community feedback.

Currently in closed beta, Patch 7 is scheduled for release this September. While the exact release date remains unannounced, players can register on the Steam store page for a chance to participate in the closed beta and experience the new content early.
