Baldur’s Gate 3 has just given fans a chilling sneak peek into one of the new evil endings set to arrive with Patch 7, and it's bound to leave players both thrilled and terrified.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 7 Unveils New Evil Ending

An Ending that Would Make a 'Father' so Proud

Larian Studios recently shared an intense 52-second cinematic preview on Twitter (X), offering a glimpse into one of the new evil endings that will be introduced in Patch 7 of Baldur’s Gate 3. The clip centers on The Dark Urge and hints at the dark consequences of fully embracing an evil path.

SPOILERS AHEAD!

The preview reveals a grim fate for The Dark Urge’s companions as they witness their leader fully succumb to their father's will, taking control of the Netherbrain. This leads to a harrowing scene that foreshadows a reign of terror under Bhaal, with the companions becoming the first tragic victims of this new regime.

In the clip, The Dark Urge exerts mind-control over their companions, compelling them to leap to their deaths. The scene is accompanied by a chilling narration that declares, "Time for the final act. Your tragedy has become mankind's," before The Dark Urge meets a similar fate.

This is just one of the many evil endings that Patch 7 will introduce. In a community update from last April, Larian promised fans "improved evil endings to the game for even darker conclusions to your most sinister playthroughs." Excitingly, these endings are accessible even if you're not playing as The Dark Urge.

Previously teased endings included The Dark Urge walking on a sea of blood and corpses, and another where an entire town falls into "sheer mindless bliss" under the control of The True Absolute.
