BG3 Unveils Mysterious "Dark Urge" Ending in Upcoming Update

Baldur's Gate 3's upcoming Patch 7 introduces terrifying new evil endings, offering players a chilling glimpse into the consequences of embracing darkness.

A New Evil Ending: A Father's Legacy

Larian Studios recently unveiled a 52-second cinematic teaser on X (formerly Twitter), showcasing one such ending focused on the Dark Urge. This preview depicts the grim fate of the Dark Urge's companions as they fall victim to their leader's descent into utter depravity, controlled by the will of their "father," Bhaal. The Dark Urge seizes control of the Netherbrain, unleashing a reign of terror.

WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!

The teaser showcases the Dark Urge's companions meeting horrific ends, forced to their deaths by mind control. A chilling narration underscores the scene: "Time for the final act. Your tragedy has become mankind's," foreshadowing a similar fate for the Dark Urge.

This is just one of several new evil endings promised in Patch 7. Larian's April community update highlighted their commitment to "improved evil endings," offering even darker conclusions for sinister playthroughs. Importantly, these endings aren't exclusive to Dark Urge characters. Previously teased endings included the Dark Urge wading through a sea of blood and corpses, and a town succumbing to "sheer mindless bliss" under the influence of the Absolute.

What Else Awaits in Patch 7?

Patch 7 is a massive update brimming with new content and improvements. In addition to the new evil endings, expect a dynamic split-screen mode for co-op play, enhanced Honour Mode challenges, and a highly anticipated modding toolkit.

Larian Studios has confirmed Baldur's Gate 3's journey isn't over. Future plans include crossplay and photo mode, demonstrating a commitment to ongoing development based on player feedback.

Currently in closed beta, Patch 7 is slated for a September release. While the exact date remains undisclosed, players can register on Steam for a chance to participate in the early access.

Despite its numerous awards, Larian Studios continues to refine Baldur's Gate 3, solidifying its position as a genre-defining masterpiece. For a deeper dive into our thoughts on the game, check out our full review.
