Larian Studios is gearing up to deliver exciting news to Baldur's Gate 3 fans: the official modkit and support for modifications are set to arrive in September. This announcement comes alongside the launch of the closed alpha, commencing today, aimed at a select group of community modders.
Given the complexity of Patch 7, the team has decided to split its implementation. This means that the upcoming major update, scheduled for September, will not only strengthen mod support but also officially unveil the much-anticipated toolkit for modifications. The closed alpha starting today will enable modders to test the tools and recreate their mods using the official kit in a collaborative process.
The primary objective behind the release of the official kit and mod support is to minimize potential issues arising from the use of third-party modifications. While there are no restrictions on external mod usage, the aim is to provide a more streamlined and collaborative option, with the assistance of recognized mod creators.
In the latest community update, the team outlined the process and next steps toward the full kit release in September. The initial closed beta begins today, with more modders gradually being included over time. A closed beta involving approximately 1,000 PC players is slated for July. Participants will not only get to experience the tools but also test the mods created during the closed alpha.
With each testing phase building upon previous results, Larian Studios will dedicate several months during the summer to refine the system, conduct comprehensive testing, and incorporate feedback received for the September launch. In addition to the Patch 7 updates, the team promises enhancements to evil endings, the introduction of an in-game photo mode, cross-play, and other additional improvements.
