Baldur's Gate 3: Final Major Update to Bring Mod Support

Jun 17, 2024 4:46 PM

Larian Studios is wrapping up major updates for Baldur's Gate 3 with the introduction of official mod support, scheduled for September 2024. CEO Swen Vincke announced that the team wants to focus on new projects, which will lead to limited support for the game, primarily focusing on critical bug fixes. The mod support will empower players to create their own content, marking a shift in how the game will be supported moving forward. Despite the shift, Larian remains dedicated to ensuring the game remains polished and enjoyable. The final significant update will coincide with the game's anniversary on July 29, 2024.

What changes will come with the final major update for Baldur's Gate 3?

The final major update for Baldur's Gate 3 will introduce official mod support, allowing players to create and share their own content. This update will also include some big additions announced for the game's anniversary on July 29, 2024, but will be the last to make significant changes to the game.

Released in 2023, Baldur's Gate 3 quickly became a critical and commercial success in the CRPG genre. With its tactical RPG combat, deep storytelling, and complex characters, it has been lauded as a new high-water mark for role-playing games. The game's detailed world and rich narrative elements, rooted in the Dungeons & Dragons universe, have provided players with a richly rewarding experience. Larian Studios has a history of creating immersive RPGs, and their prior success with the Divinity: Original Sin series set high expectations for Baldur's Gate 3. With this transition to mod support, the community now has the tools to expand and personalize their adventures significantly further.
