Baldur's Gate 3's upcoming Patch 7 introduces terrifying new evil endings, offering players a chilling glimpse into the game's darker possibilities. A recent 52-second cinematic preview on X (formerly Twitter) showcases one such ending, focusing on the Dark Urge's descent into utter depravity.
A Father's Legacy of Darkness
The preview depicts a grim scenario where the Dark Urge's companions witness their leader succumb to Bhaal's influence, seizing control of the Netherbrain. This harrowing sequence foreshadows a reign of terror, with the companions becoming the first victims of the Dark Urge's mind control, ultimately meeting their demise. A chilling narration underscores the scene: "Time for the final act. Your tragedy has become mankind's." Even the Dark Urge ultimately suffers a similar fate.
Beyond the Dark Urge
This is just one of several new evil endings promised in Larian's April community update. The update pledged "improved evil endings…for even darker conclusions," accessible even to players not controlling the Dark Urge. Previously teased endings included the Dark Urge standing amidst a sea of blood and corpses, and a town consumed by "sheer mindless bliss" under the True Absolute's sway.
Patch 7: A Mammoth Update
Patch 7 is a substantial update, brimming with new content and improvements. In addition to the sinister endings, it includes a dynamic split-screen mode for co-op gameplay, enhanced Honour Mode challenges, and a highly anticipated modding toolkit for community-created content.
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 improvements based on player feedback.
Currently in closed beta, Patch 7 is slated for release this September. While the precise date remains undisclosed, players can register on the Steam store page for early access.
