Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 8 release date and expected time

It's time to think about opening up your save file again because the Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 8 release date has arrived with another beefy update. Patch 8 is apparently among Larian’s biggest BG3 updates, too. Harvey did the math, and at least in terms of its patch note length, it’s gotta land somewhere within the top three...

Baldur's Gate 3's Patch 8 is among its biggest, holding 48 pages (approx. 19,000-20,000 words) of patch notes in its vast and bountiful form

Patch 8 of Baldur's Gate 3 releases tomorrow, April 15. And while I'm already scheming to build my gang of build-broken nightmare people to tackle Honour Mode with for a second time, I'm also wondering how I'm going to break it to my friends, family, and loved ones that they will not see me for the next two weeks...

Baldur's Gate 3's journey is almost at its end, as its last major update gets a release date for next week

The time is almost upon us all to prepare for the end of Baldur's Gate 3, and by end, I mean the RPG's final big update. Larian cheekily shared last year that it'd be getting one final hurrah in spite of the fact they'd said that patch 7 would be the last major one.

I already feel preemptively sorry for whatever studio ends up making Baldur’s Gate 4. Imagine watching Larian put out an RPG as massive, impressive, and flexible as Baldur’s Gate 3, and having the license holder Hasbro say "another one of those, please!".

BG3 Patch 8 release date locked in for the RPG's swansong update

It is most likely the final major update to one of the greatest games ever made. It's going to add some essential features and expand its already generous offering of subclasses. It will, essentially, make an all-time great RPG the best it's ever been. I am talking, of course, about BG3 Patch 8. This update has been months in the making, but now the wait is almost over, as Larian has revealed that it'll be hitting Baldur's Gate 3 very soon.
