Major Baldur's Gate 3 update introduces new playable epilogue
Dec 01, 2023 9:14 AMExciting news for RPG fans as the acclaimed title Baldur's Gate 3 received a substantial 30GB update that introduced an exceptionally well-crafted playable epilogue, providing players with a satisfying conclusion to their journey. The update is accessible to all players, allowing them to experience the closing chapter by either starting a new game or by loading a save file just before the final battle.
In addition to the epilogue, Larian Studios has also added two new gameplay modes. Honour Mode presents a heightened challenge both inside and outside of combat by modifying boss fights with novel attacks and disabling save scumming; if players die in this mode, they can opt to continue playing without Honour Mode or strive to complete the game without dying for a special golden D20 reward. Custom Mode offers customizable gameplay options enabling players to tailor the game experience to their preferences, including hidden dice roles for a more D&D-like feel or hidden enemy HP for added difficulty.
Larian Studios has implemented numerous other enhancements within this update. Baldur's Gate 3, which has garnered high praise from critics, is available digitally for PlayStation 5 and PC, with the Xbox Series X and S version slated for release later this year and a physical edition launching next spring. A confirmed release date is set to be announced at The Game Awards. Baldur's Gate 3 stands out as a top-tier RPG, offering a deep and rewarding experience especially for fans of D&D, despite its challenging learning curve.
For further details on all the improvements, gamers can refer to the complete patch notes provided by the studio. This update reaffirms Larian Studios' commitment to enhancing the game and providing players with an exceptional RPG experience.
