A new evil ending has been revealed in Baldur's Gate

Baldur's Gate 3 is brimming with secrets, and Larian Studios' masterpiece continues to reveal its hidden depths. Dataminers have unearthed numerous secrets, including a particularly intriguing ending.

This previously discovered evil ending has resurfaced during testing of the game's eighth major patch. In this ending, the player character violently removes and destroys the illithid parasite, surviving unharmed. A subsequent branching point offers two choices: the protagonist leaves with their companions, or departs alone, leaving their companions behind.

Many speculate that this ending will be fully implemented with the release of the eighth patch.

Recent layoffs at BioWare, the studio behind Dragon Age: The Veilguard, have fueled industry-wide discussions about the state of game development. In contrast, Michael Daus, Larian Studios' publishing director, remains active on social media, addressing these layoffs. He emphasizes the importance of valuing employees and suggests that leadership should bear the brunt of difficult decisions rather than laying off large portions of development teams between or after projects. He highlights the crucial role of retaining institutional knowledge for future endeavors.
