Patch #8 for *Baldur's Gate 3* is shaping up to be one of the most eagerly awaited updates, promising a host of exciting features including cross-play capabilities, a photo mode, and 12 brand-new subclasses. In a recent video released by Larian Studios, fans were treated to an exclusive sneak peek at four of these subclasses: the enchanting Bard of the College of Enchantment, the mighty Barbarian of the Path of the Giant, the ominous Cleric of the Death Domain, and the celestial Druid of the Circle of Stars.

As stress-testing continues and additional sign-up rounds are made available, the community's anticipation grows. While the exact release date for Patch #8 remains undisclosed, Larian Studios keeps the excitement alive by engaging with fans through these revealing sneak peeks. The latest video is just Part 1 of a series that will explore all 12 new subclasses.

Larian Studios has planned two more trailers to showcase the remaining subclasses, allowing players ample time to prepare for the upcoming changes. The stress-test phase, which began in January, introduced a significant update featuring the much-anticipated photo mode. As the final major patch, Patch #8 will mark the end of *Baldur's Gate 3's* post-launch development cycle, leaving fans eagerly awaiting what's next for this beloved game.
