Baldur’s Gate 3 patch 7 release date window and official mod toolkit announced

Larian Studios had confirmed the Baldur’s Gate 3 patch 7 release date, alongside the confirmation of the official mod toolkit for the game. While we can expect the patch to launch in Autumn 2024, alpha testing for the modding toolkit begins today, with a beta test scheduled for July. Patch 7 will introduce new evil endings, more fixes, and quality-of-life improvements. Here is when we can expect the patch to be released

When is the Baldur’s Gate 3 patch 7 release date window?

Baldur’s Gate 3 patch 7 will be released in September 2024. At the time of writing, there is no specific date locked in, simply the month. The biggest addition brought about in patch 7 of Baldur’s Gate 3 will be the official modding toolkit, letting people mod the game even further to their heart’s content. This release date has been confirmed by Larian in a community update.

In the blog post, Larian said: “With the intention of working through your feedback throughout the summer, it will give us time to polish off Patch 7 ready for release in September”. It continues, “In the meantime, we still have plenty coming your way, including some anniversary extravagance as we look back on the months since release. We’re also still pressing on with the development of an in-game photo mode, crossplay, and more fixes that will arrive later down the line!” As explained in the post, the mod toolkit will be released first on PC and it will then be extended to other platforms, including Mac, PlayStation, and Xbox.

While we wait patiently for more news on patch 7, we now know we have plenty of future mods to look forward to. The modding scene for BG3 is already huge, with plenty of mods available on Nexus. Thanks to the official modding toolkit, we can expect to see swathes of new mods being made, all of which will hopefully have fewer compatibility issues.
