Pucker up for better kissing in “hefty” Baldur’s Gate 3 update next week

Romance sim masquerading as fantasy RPG Baldur's Gate 3 is putting vaseline on its lips, wiggling a little bit of tongue out and practising in the mirror for its next big update. That’s right, just in time for Valentine’s Day (or maybe just after), Larian are dropping the “Improved Smooches” patch.

Baldur's Gate 3. You've heard of it, I've heard of it - at this point, your gran's heard of it. Larian's Dungeons and Dragons-inspired epic was 2023's biggest success story, scooping up countless awards for every accolade under the sun. A huge part of the game's success, however, is its characters - Astarion especially. Neil Newbon's Pale Elf has won the hearts of so many (and also some awards), and his saga of strife and sass was easily my favorite part of the game.

Larian knows its audience, promises 'improved smooches' in Baldur's Gate 3

Baldur's Gate 3 is a very horny RPG, as well as being broadly brilliant, and Larian knows exactly what its players want: smooching. Patch 6, dropping next week, will give the horny romantics something to get excited about in the form of "improved smooches", along with some other additions...

Baldur's Gate 3's next patch is a big one, and it’ll let you kiss dudes on the forehead

Good news, people who like watching their Tav munch on the lips of Baldur's Gate 3’s gang of companions (we’re not judging, by the way), the game’s next patch is inbound next week and it looks like it’ll let you casually plant a big wet smooch on the foreheads of your favourite party members.

It’s been a little while since we last got a properly beefy patch for Larian’s RPG, with the late November one that brought the game a new epilogue and its fearsome honour mode being the most recent non-hotfix update for the game. To be fair Larian has had some save and ban issues to sort out on Xbox since that point, so it’s been busy.

Now, though, we’re back in business! Patch number 6 for the game has now been confirmed to be coming next week, and as you can see in the video Larian’s included with its announcement of that, forehead kisses are on the menu. Alongside these “improved smooches”, you can look forward to “new camp idle animations, new legendary actions in honour mode, and plenty of bug fixes.”
