Baldur's Gate Console players just got more new subclasses and the ability to have a pet dragon

It's clearly the season for giving at Larian Studios. Just a few days ago, the studio added a bunch of new classes, among others, to the console version of Baldur's Gate 3, and now it's just added a bunch more exciting content.

Those who log into Baldur's Gate 3 starting today will have access to a whopping 23 new pieces of content, including the Zephyr class, a Corpse-Eater subclass, and the ability to bring dragons (and Withers) with you on your adventures.

Ever wanted a dragon in Baldur's Gate 3? Well, now you can!

Baldur's Gate 3 is a game with endless possibilities, and it didn't take long for creators to see that. Since launch, players have added over 15,000 projects to Nexus Mods. These have been downloaded nearly 375 million times. While it would be impossible for Larian to port all this content to Baldur's Gate 3 on console, its dedicated team is going through the motions and bringing the best to Xbox and PlayStation.

Baldur's Gate 3's Nocturne was originally pitched as a “Mephistophelian demon” before becoming a bit more “Girl Next Door”

The character's initial description sent actor Abigail Thorn “in a particular Mephistophelian direction.”

Below you can find information about everything in the latest content release:

  • Earrings of the Devout – Adds 15 “diety themed” earrings, all silver.
  • Feline Fiendish – Tieflings too! – Changes the eyes of all tieflings and cambions to be cat-like.

  • Minthara: Dirt B Gone – Removes all dirt from Minthara.
  • Gabe's Pet – Adds more than 20 pet travel companions, including pocket dragons, a chipmunk, a scruffy chicken, a dilophosaurus, and mane.

It's a relative feast of content right after Thanksgiving, with plenty to dive into. The Corpse-Eater subclass seems fun, and traveling with some of the available pets will be a lot of fun. This year I am grateful for Larian's continued support of Baldur's Gate 3.
