Baldur’s Gate 3 recently experienced an unexpected twist with the accidental release of Patch 8 on the PlayStation 5. This patch, designed to introduce significant changes, including twelve new subclasses, was briefly available before being retracted.

According to developers at Larian, they recommend rolling back to the previous Patch 7 for those who managed to download Patch 8. Despite this, the early unveil has fired up the fan base, as theorycrafters enthusiastically explore the updates.

What’s New in Patch 8?

Among the highlights, the patch confirmed the introduction of official blade cantrips, which players of Dungeons & Dragons will recognize as being powerful tools for various builds. These cantrips allow many strategies that make existing subclasses even more formidable. For instance, the Arcane Trickster rogue could see enhanced capabilities by incorporating these blade cantrips into their toolkit.

Moreover, the gameplay implications extend beyond just the new moves; exciting combinations and build potentials are being discussed widely in communities such as subreddit for BG3 builds.
