Additionally, each class in Baldur’s Gate 3 will gain a new subclass that players can choose as they level up.

• Circle of Stars (Druid)
• Crown Oath (Paladin)
• Magical Archer (Warrior)
• Drunken Master (Monk)
• Pack Protector (Hunter)
• Swordsman (Trickster)
• Shadow Magic (Wizard)
• Hex Blade (Warlock)

Larian Studios is not yet ready to give an exact release date for Patch 8. However, Baldur’s Gate 3 players will be able to get an early look at these upcoming features by participating in a stress test planned for early January. More information about participation will be shared soon.

While Larian has been clear that he won’t be making downloadable content for Baldur’s Gate 4 or Baldur’s Gate 3, it looks like he’s planning to bring development of 2023’s Game of the Year to a grand conclusion. New subclasses, cross-platform support, and photo mode will add even more depth and variety to Baldur’s Gate 3, an already great game.
