"BG3 Patch 7 Hints at New Dark Urge Ending"

Baldur’s Gate 3 has just offered a glimpse of one of the new evil endings coming in the next patch, and it’s nothing short of terrifying.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 7 Unveils New Evil Ending

An Ending that Would Make a 'Father' so Proud

Larian Studios has recently shared a 52-second cinematic preview on Twitter (X), showcasing one of the new evil endings coming in Patch 7 of Baldur’s Gate 3. The clip focuses on The Dark Urge and teases the sinister consequences of a fully evil playthrough.

SPOILERS AHEAD!

The preview shows the grim fate of The Dark Urge’s companions as they witness their leader succumb to their father’s will, seizing control of the Netherbrain. It’s a harrowing spectacle that foreshadows a reign of terror under Bhaal, as the companions become the first tragic victims.

The Dark Urge asserts mind-control over their companions, forcing them to plunge to their deaths. A chilling narration accompanies the scene, proclaiming, "Time for the final act. Your tragedy has become mankind's," before the Dark Urge meets a similar fate.

This is but one of the many evil endings coming to Patch 7. In Larian’s community update last April, they promised fans to add "improved evil endings to the game for even darker conclusions to your most sinister playthroughs." The best part: You can get these endings even if you’re not playing as The Dark Urge.

Those that were teased previously were The Dark Urge walking on a sea of blood and corpses, and one where an entire town succumbs to "sheer mindless bliss" in the hands of The True Absolute.

What’s New in Baldur’s Gate 3's Patch 7?

Baldur’s Gate 3’s upcoming Patch 7 is a behemoth of an update, packed with new content and significant improvements. Beyond the recently teased sinister endings, players can look forward to a dynamic split-screen mode for co-op, enhanced Honour Mode challenges, and a highly-requested modding toolkit that will allow players to create their own content.

Larian Studios has confirmed that this isn’t the final chapter for Baldur’s Gate 3. With features like crossplay and photo mode on the roadmap, the developer is committed to continually enhancing the game based on community feedback.

Scheduled for release this September, Patch 7 is currently in closed beta. While the exact launch date is still under wraps, players can sign up on the game’s Steam store page for a chance to experience the new content early.
