It also seems like it might be the last.

But before we bid Faꦜerûn adieu in search of stranger shores, we have one more major patch waiting around the corner. - Larian St🔜udios

Larian also says that it's bidding Faerûn "adieu in search of stranger shores", whi♌ch is likely a reference to the other pro𒊎jects that the studio has in development right now. This, combined with the fact that Larian literally says that it's the final "major🐻" ღpatch for Baldur's Gate 3, suggests the team is ready to move on and won't be coming back for more.

While that does seem to be pretty set in stone, it's worth noting that Larian will likely continue to patch and u🅘pdate Baldur's Gate 3 after Patch 8, just not to the same level that it has recently. We can expect to see bug fixes and small tweaks, especially if Patch 8 causes any unforeseen problems.

That being said, . While the studio has never said that it's stopping updates before, we've all been surprised at just how much was added to the game after launch. It wouldn't be too surprising if Baldur's Gate 3 gets t൩he Stardew Valley treatment and eventually has another surprise update.
