Patch 8 Adds New Subclasses to Baldur's Gate 3: PC Gaming Mag

Patch #8 for *Baldur's Gate 3* is generating significant buzz as one of the most exciting updates to date. This major patch promises a host of new features, including cross-play functionality, an immersive photo mode, and an impressive lineup of 12 brand-new subclasses. In a recent video from Larian Studios, fans were given a first look at four of these subclasses: the Bard of the College of Enchantment, the Barbarian of the Path of the Giant, the Cleric of the Death Domain, and the Druid of the Circle of Stars.

With stress-testing currently in progress and more sign-up opportunities becoming available, the player community is on high alert for the official release. While the exact launch date for Patch #8 remains undisclosed, Larian Studios continues to keep players engaged through exclusive content drops and behind-the-scenes insights like this latest video—titled Part 1 of a multi-part subclass showcase series.

In the coming weeks, two additional trailers are expected to debut, offering a full reveal of the remaining eight subclasses. This rollout gives players ample time to study up and prepare for the gameplay shifts that Patch #8 will introduce. The ongoing stress-test phase began back in January, during which Larian unveiled a substantial update featuring the long-requested photo mode.

As the final major patch in the game’s post-launch development journey, Patch #8 marks a milestone moment for *Baldur's Gate 3*. With such impactful additions on the horizon, the community is not only excited for what this patch brings—but also curious about what Larian Studios might tackle next.
