Some of Baldur's Gate 3's new subclasses seem a perfect fit for its new subclasses, while others are a potential source of humor.

M ore than a year into its release, Larian Studios continues to improve its magnum opus, Baldur's Gate 3. Heading into 2025, the developer has revealed all the new features coming

The newest patch adds 12 new subclasses, photo mode, and what we've all been waiting for: Baldur's Gate 3 cross play!

One of the most popular subclasses among Warlocks is the Hexblade, which was initially left out of Baldur's Gate 3 but will be officially added with Patch 8 of the game. Along with the ability to create magical weapons, this option will also allow players to curse enemies, forcing souls to obey commands.

The next patch for Baldur's Gate 3 will be one of the biggest yet, adding new subclasses along with crossplay and more

Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 8 is coming. We’ve got early patch notes going over crossplay photo mode, and the new subclasses coming to the game.

Patch 8, due out in 2025, adds crossplay, photo mode, and 12 new subclasses to the hugely successful role-playing game. In a blog post, Larian said Patch 8 is the game’s last major update, with the developer moving on to brand new games away from the Dungeons & Dragons universe.

Each class in Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 8 is receiving a new subclass, providing new ways to play the game. This monumental update comes despite Larian Studios winding down the development of BG3 as it pushes into new titles. We’ve detailed all the new subclasses in the table below.

So far, I’ve been able to hold myself back from diving headfirst into Baldur’s Gate 3 again by reminding myself that I have too many other games to finish. I can’t justify spending over 100 hours on something I’ve already finished that also launched last year.

Characters can learn spells from scrolls in Baldur's Gate 3. Use this to round out your spellbook with any you may have missed.
