New Sinister Ending Emerges in Baldur's Gate

Baldur's Gate 3's hidden depths continue to unveil themselves. Larian Studios' RPG is a treasure trove of secrets, many uncovered by dedicated dataminers.

One such discovery, a particularly grim ending, has resurfaced during testing of the game's eighth major patch. This ending allows the player character to forcibly remove and destroy the illithid parasite, surviving unscathed. A subsequent branching path presents a choice: depart with companions, or leave them behind.

The community anticipates the full implementation of this dark ending with the release of patch eight.

Recent layoffs at BioWare, the studio behind Dragon Age: The Veilguard, have ignited industry-wide conversations about the current climate. In contrast, Michael Daus, Larian Studios' publishing director, remains active online. He recently weighed in on the topic of industry layoffs, emphasizing the importance of valuing employees and placing the burden of restructuring on leadership, rather than frontline developers. He stressed the critical role of retaining institutional knowledge for future projects, arguing against large-scale team dismissals between or after project completion.
