Larian Studios

While the Baldur’s Gate 3 patch 7 closed beta was initially set to drop on July 22, 2024, Larian recently issued a blog post revealing that it will be delayed until later in the week.

While modifying the game for the patch 7 rollout, a bug was discovered that caused passive roles to stop working.

“We are trying to figure out how we got here, so while we do that, we’ll be pushing the Closed Beta back to later this week.”

This means fans who are lucky enough to be part of the closed beta will be able to try out all the new features up to two months before it will fully land into the expansive RPG title.
