It's been a couple of months since the last major update to Baldur's Gate 3, and we might be getting close to the moment where development starts to shift towards Larian's next big title. Patch 5 was released back in November, bringing a ton of major additions to the game, including the new epilogues and Honor Mode. Even though this is not a live-service game, Larian has continued their post-launch support of Baldur's Gate 3, and now they have announced some details about their next big update - Patch 6. In this article, we are going to go over everything new that is coming to the game with Patch 6, as well as its expected release date.
NOTE: Some of the information provided in this article is based on speculation and is not to be interpreted as official info from the developers.

Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 6 Release Date
Based on the tweet made by Larian Studios, Baldur's Gate Patch 6 is set to release sometime next week, which is between the 12th and 18th of February. Patch 4 and Patch 5 were both released on Thursday, so this leads us to believe that the next major update is going to be launching on the 15th of February. Keep in mind that delays can always happen and this is just a rough release window.
That is everything you need to know about the next major update for Baldur's Gate 3. Hopefully, a ton of bug fixes are also present in this patch, as with the major scope of the game there are still some issues even months after its initial release.

Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 6 Details
In a tweet released on February 9th, Larian Studios teased some of the upcoming changes and additions that are coming with Patch 6 of Baldur's Gate 3. More improvements to kissing animations are going to be made, with Astarion and Halsin being used as examples in a video attached to the announcement. New kissing animations were added a few updates ago, but some, such as Karlach's, were a lot more involved than others, with some of them being outright bugged. Hopefully, this update brings them all to the same standard.
New camp idle animations were also teased, but little to no information was given about what exactly means. It could be something similar to the little dance Karlach does while she stays idle, or it could be more involved, like some of the ones during the epilogue scenes.
The last big announcement for Patch 6 is new Legendary Actions for bosses in Honor Mode. We don't have any information on which bosses are going to be gaining these actions, but some of the frontrunners are probably going to be Ansur and the Bullete, which are currently missing any Honor Mode specific interactions.
