Recently, the studio gave us some details about Patch 8, which will finally introduce the long-awaited cross-play feature for console and PC players, as well as a highly customizable photo mode with camera, lens and scene settings.
Additionally, Larian also announced that Patch 8 will introduce 12 new subclasses, in case players aren’t already tired of spending time in the Forgotten Realms.
