Next Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch Will Fix A Major Co-op Complaint

The next big Baldur’s Gate 3 patch is arriving in September. With it comes a big quality-of-life change for split-screen play, extended evil endings, the game’s modding toolkit, and a number of bug fixes. You can even register on the game’s Steam page to try out the patch ahead of time.

The patch will add an option for split-screen co-op where the split-screen will merge if both characters are in the same area. This will perhaps save you some visual headaches and confusion in battle sequences or elsewhere. You can toggle the option directly in the main HUD or within the game settings.

As previously teased, the patch will add some extensive evil-ending cinematics, including new ones for Origin Characters and The Dark Urge. The new teaser GIFs show the player-character lounging lazily, surrounded by corpses and levitating above an army which stomps their spears in unison. The Honour Mode difficulty will also see some improvements. More creatures will get legendary actions, making a number of the game’s bosses and encounters even more fiendish.

The same patch will also see the release of the game’s modding toolkit. Larian claims the toolkit will help modders do everything they want to make new content for the game including new items, cosmetics, class/subclasses, races, and quality-of-life and UI improvements.

Finally, the patch will introduce a number of fixes to Dark Urge and Origin character playthroughs, some of which are cosmetic, alongside repairs to unactivated triggers and even kissing-related fixes.

You can read more details about the upcoming patch in Larian’s blog post. The post also teases additions that may be coming to future patches, including cross-play and a photo mode.
