Baldur’s Gate 3 is getting a big bad new ending for the Dark Urge playthrough in September and developer Larian Studios has shared a first look at its cinematic.
In a post on X/Twitter, the studio showed (spoilers ahead) what appears to be the Dark Urge protagonist sacrificing their beloved companions Shadowheart, Lae’zel, and Wyll, using mind control to force them to jump to their deaths.
The “cinematic teaser” is 52 seconds long, suggesting the full version must be fairly significant. It will arrive alongside the final full update to beloved role-playing game Baldur’s Gate 3 sometime in September, though no specific release date has been announced yet.
Father would be so proud.
