BG3 Teased Update with Intriguing 'Dark 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 wicked playthrough.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 7: A New Level of Evil

An Ending Even Bhaal Would Approve Of

Larian Studios recently unveiled a 52-second cinematic teaser on X (formerly Twitter), showcasing a new evil ending for Patch 7. The Dark Urge takes center stage, highlighting the grim repercussions of embracing pure evil.

SPOILER WARNING!

The preview depicts the horrifying fate of the Dark Urge's companions. They witness their leader succumb to Bhaal's influence, seizing control of the Netherbrain. This harrowing scene foreshadows a reign of terror, with the companions becoming the first victims.

The Dark Urge uses mind control to force their companions to their deaths. A chilling voiceover declares, "Time for the final act. Your tragedy has become mankind's," before a similar fate befalls the Dark Urge.

This is just one of several new evil endings planned for Patch 7. Larian's April community update promised "improved evil endings...for even darker conclusions to your most sinister playthroughs," accessible even without playing as the Dark Urge. Previously teased endings included the Dark Urge amidst a sea of blood and corpses, and a town consumed by "sheer mindless bliss" under the True Absolute.

What Else Awaits in Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 7?

Patch 7 is a massive update, brimming with new content and improvements. In addition to the sinister new endings, expect a dynamic split-screen co-op mode, enhanced Honour Mode challenges, and a long-awaited modding toolkit.

Larian Studios has confirmed that this isn't the end for Baldur’s Gate 3. Crossplay and photo mode are on the horizon, demonstrating Larian's commitment to ongoing improvements based on player feedback.

Currently in closed beta, Patch 7 is slated for September release. The exact date remains unannounced, but players can register on Steam for early access.

Despite its many awards, Larian continues to refine Baldur’s Gate 3, solidifying its position as a genre-defining masterpiece. For our full review of Baldur’s Gate 3, see the link below.
