Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Latest News Dev Blog: Patch 9 is Coming

The mo cap chat was interesting to read, but... To the folks who are talking about the 'good news' here, help me out... what good news have we been given?

- Patch 9 is going to be a thing that happens: We knew this already.
- Patch 9 will have stuff in it: We knew this already, and it's a non-statement besides.
- There will be another PFH when it releases: Of course there is going to be.
- They're planning to release in 2023: We knew this already.
- They're testing the other unreleased Acts: You'd bloody well want to hope so by this stage, but we also knew this too, since they've had applications up for advanced testing of those acts for ages.
- Act 1 will have unreleased content, in an effort to feel new for EA testers on launch: We knew this already, it was spoken about very early on the in EA.

- They plan on doing a Community Update alongside the PHF to discuss some of the biggest community issues: This Would be excellent and promising news... if not for the fact that they've promised this same thing, or variants of it, multiple times now, in the lead up to multiple different patches, and they have not once, Ever actually delivered on doing so - we're still waiting for those from previous panels, with nothing to show for it. So what reason have we got to suppose that This time it will be different, and that This time they'll do as they promise? Evidence points to the contrary so far... I'd love to be wrong, and I hope that I am... but I'm not going to get excited over the promise of news... which is a promise that Larian have not shown themselves to be good at keeping, over the course of this EA.
