Despite its immense success, Baldur’s Gate 3 won’t be making its way to the Nintendo Switch anytime soon. Larian Studios has confirmed they are moving on to new projects, leaving the franchise for another studio to potentially continue. The game’s demanding performance requirements and the Switch’s older hardware also pose challenges for a successful port.
Larian Studios is adding new evil endings to Baldur’s Gate 3, accompanied by stunning cinematics. These endings focus on the Dark Urge, a character path fueled by cruelty. Patch 7, releasing in September, will also bring extensive gameplay improvements, a modding toolkit, and more. This will be one of the last major updates for Baldur’s Gate 3 as Larian Studios moves on to new projects.
Larian Studios has announced that official mod support for Baldur’s Gate 3 will finally be released in September with Patch 7. The developer is releasing the toolkit early to beta test it with popular modders this month and will hold a bigger closed beta for 1,000 players in July. Modders will be able to create new weapons, armor, classes, subclasses, spells, and dice skins for the game using Mod.io as the platform for the toolkit. While cross-platform support will not be available for mods that edit levels, cinematics, dialogue, or quests, Larian will continue to allow mods not made with the official toolkit and mods that break these rules to be published on other modding platforms. Official mod support will be enabled for Windows players first via Patch 7 in September before coming to Mac, PlayStation, and Xbox.
