BG3 Teases New Dark Urge Ending in Patch 7

Baldur's Gate 3's upcoming Patch 7 promises a chilling new evil ending, offering a glimpse into the terrifying consequences of a fully malevolent playthrough.

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 dark ending focused on the Dark Urge. This preview hints at the sinister repercussions of embracing pure evil.

Spoiler Alert!

The teaser depicts the grim fate of the Dark Urge's companions as they witness their leader succumb to Bhaal's influence, seizing control of the Netherbrain. The companions become tragic victims, subjected to mind control and forced to meet their demise. A chilling narration underscores the scene: "Time for the final act. Your tragedy has become mankind's." The Dark Urge ultimately 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 in Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 7?

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

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

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