Baldur's Gate 3’s fifth patch came with a massive haul of updates and additions, but perhaps the one that’s got players most excited is a tiny new line that makes an Imp named Bing Bong canon.
Alongside fixing Astarion’s kisses and arming you with two new game modes - Custom Mode and Honour Mode - to try, the patch includes a playable epilogue set six months after the events of the game conclude. During this sequence, which takes the form of a final shindig at camp with your party, players have discovered that Larian has taken the opportunity to add in a line referencing a figure the game’s community can’t get enough of.
As spotted by a couple of players across Reddit and Twitter (thanks TheGamer), chatting with Shadowheart at the gathering will see her name drop a certain Bing Bong during a recap of the shenanigans she’s gotten up to with your Tav in the last little bit. “Well, there’s the visit to the House of the Moon, fending off Sharran assassins, that stray Imp that joined us - Bing Bong wasn’t it?”, everyone’s favourite princess muses, adding: “We’ve squeezed a lot [in] - and I’m glad I got to share it with you.”
Baldur's Gate 3 has blessed us with its biggest update yet early, patch 5. While Larian Studios did indeed tease some of its contents, nothing could have prepared us for how impressive the patch 5 notes truly are. If you've been waiting for new endgame content, or perhaps a new way to experience the DnD-inspired game entirely, then get ready for some of the most exciting Baldur's Gate 3 features yet.
