After a wait that stretched over half a year since the launch of Patch 7, Larian Studios has finally unveiled the eighth and concluding update for Baldur’s Gate 3. This patch brings a batch of long-awaited features, including cross-play, a photo mode, and split screen gameplay for the Xbox Series S. Adding a splash of flair to the release, Larian Studios dropped another one of their animated shorts featuring the BG3 ensemble — and this time, they’ve spiced things up with a distinct metatextual cameo and a twist ending that’s sure to delight fans.
