Subsequent month, Baldur’s Gate 3 is getting its eagerly awaited Patch 7, including dynamic splitscreen in co-op play, an official modding toolkit, and—most significantly for sure unrepentant sickos amongst you—expanded and improved endings for evil characters. Earlier right this moment, Larian posted a recent teaser for one of many Darkish Urge’s new evil endings, and would not you realize it: Appears fairly darkish!

Within the 52 second-long video, we see the Darkish Urge as their albino dragonborn default, standing excessive above a Baldur’s Gate in ruins atop the subdued Netherbrain following the sport’s climactic closing confrontation—a confrontation which, presumably, ended with the Darkish Urge seizing management of the Netherbrain and the cult of the Absolute.
The Darkish Urge turns to their facet, the place three of their companions stand—Shadowheart, Lae’zel, and Wyll, on this case. The Darkish Urge raises and closes a fist, producing the telltale psionic pulse of illithid domination round their companion’s heads. Commanding his companions by the yoked Netherbrain, the Darkish Urge sweeps their fist to gesture on the burning metropolis beneath, forcing their companions to method the platform’s edge. Because the companions stare helplessly on the drop, the Darkish Urge gently opens their hand, nearly in a gesture of invitation.
The digital camera pulls again to indicate the three companions in a wordless plummet to their deaths. “Time for the ultimate act,” the narrator says because the Darkish Urge takes their very own place on the precipice. “Your tragedy has turn out to be mankind’s.” The video ends with the Darkish Urge leaning forwards for their very own fall.
Now, if it was me, I merely would not provide up myself and three of my boon-companions in a ritual triple-murder-suicide to, I am guessing, take Bhaal’s place as an avatar of homicide incarnate. I are usually into the issues which are the other of that. However I will not deny that the teaser cinematic is de facto successfully choreographed: There’s an eerie serenity to the Darkish Urge, made a lot extra unsettling by the soundtrack’s sharp violin skirls and the truth that, within the distance, there are a bunch of inert thoughts flayers floating listlessly about.
Primarily based on the glimpses Larian’s already given for the brand new evil endings, I can solely assume it should get extra upsetting from there. Virtually makes a man wish to make investments one other six dozen hours or so on a recent BG3 playthrough.
Patch 7 is about to hit Baldur’s Gate 3 someday in September.
