Larian reminds Baldur's Gate 3 fans that Patch 7 isn't the RPG's final update, but it's not saying anything else yet: "The chefs must cook"

"As Swen said during last week’s PAX West panel in Seattle - our final live panel for Baldur’s Gate 3 - it’s time for the team to go back to our cave and hang the armour on the wall while we focus on bringing you our next project," Larian adds.
