Latest Patch Adds Enigmatic Dark Urge Ending to BG3

Baldur's Gate 3's upcoming Patch 7 promises a chilling new evil ending, offering a terrifying glimpse into the game's darker possibilities.

A New Evil Ending for Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 7

Larian Studios recently unveiled a 52-second cinematic teaser on X (formerly Twitter), showcasing a new evil ending path in Patch 7. The Dark Urge takes center stage, highlighting the grim consequences of a fully evil playthrough.

Spoiler Alert!

The preview depicts the Dark Urge's companions meeting a horrific end as their leader succumbs to Bhaal's influence, seizing control of the Netherbrain. The Dark Urge manipulates their companions, forcing them to their deaths. A chilling voiceover declares, "Time for the final act. Your tragedy has become mankind's," before the Dark Urge suffers a similar fate.

This is just one of several new evil endings promised for Patch 7. Larian's April community update pledged "improved evil endings...for even darker conclusions." Excitingly, these endings aren't exclusive to Dark Urge playthroughs. Previously teased endings included the Dark Urge wading through a sea of blood and corpses, and a town consumed by "sheer mindless bliss" under the True Absolute's control.

What Else is New in Patch 7?

Patch 7 is a massive update, boasting a wealth of new features and improvements. In addition to the sinister new endings, expect a dynamic split-screen mode for co-op play, enhanced Honour Mode challenges, and a highly anticipated modding toolkit for community-created content.

Larian Studios has confirmed that this isn't the end of Baldur's Gate 3's journey. Future plans include crossplay and photo mode, demonstrating a commitment to continuous improvement based on player feedback.

Currently in closed beta, Patch 7 is slated for release this September. While the exact date remains undisclosed, players can register on the Steam store page for early access.
