Baldur’s Gate 3 Console Update: Shadow Reaper & Druid

Larian has returned to a steady pace of updates for Baldur’s Gate 3 on consoles, delivering a new content drop after a roughly three-week pause. The latest release adds 15 vetted additions—ranging from new classes and subclasses to expanded Druid Wildshapes and two major recruitable NPCs for Act 3—plus an increase to the game’s level cap.

Announcement: 15 new additions land on console

After an interval without new console content, Larian uploaded a new batch designed specifically for console players, who don’t have access to the same large catalog of community mods available on PC. This update arrives with nearly 30 total additions across recent weeks and now includes a 15-piece set in this latest batch.

Armor of the Githyanki: Adds 50 Gith-themed armor pieces to the tutorial chest, with some body type/race restrictions.
MysticDoubleResources: Increases mystic psi points and psionic mastery charges (twice as many).
Magmatic Hell Dice: Adds a magma-themed die.
The Rage Mage: A Barbarian Spellcaster Subclass: Adds a Barbarian subclass that enables spellcasting while raging (based on homebrew from Mage Hand Press in Valda’s Spire of Secrets).
Eridis: Tiefling Head Preset: Adds a new Tiefling head preset.
Marcus Restyled (Hair Dye Remover): Adjusts Marcus’ beard so it matches his hair.
Sorcerer Subclass: Conflagrant Soul: Adds a Sorcerer subclass centered on fire and grease control.
Druid Wildshape Addons: Adds multiple Wildshape options, including Raptor, Spiders, Boar, Owlcat, Wolf, Rabbits, and Rats.
Short Rest Tweaks: Lets Short Rests recover spell slots, sorcery points, and rage charges.
The Shadow Reaper Class: Adds a new Shadow Reaper class (based on Kayne from League of Legends) focused on crowd elimination, with specializations for Shadow Assassin and Savage Darkin Slayer.
Level Cap 40: Raises the level cap to 40.
Ezuneo’s Draconic Tails: Adds 10 draconic-style tails to the character creator.
Gloomy Flower: New Hair For Shadowheart: Adds a new hairstyle for Shadowheart in Acts 1 and 2.
Aylin and Isobel Join The Party: Allows Aylin and Isobel to be recruited as full party members, with unique Act 3 interactions.
Flicker Hair Patch: Adds 11 cybergoth/punk hairstyles for all races and body types.

Practical impact: bigger progression and more party options

The most immediate gameplay changes are the raised level cap and the addition of two full party members. The level cap increase to 40 extends long-term progression for players who have reached the previous maximum, while recruiting Aylin and Isobel as full members adds new party composition possibilities, including distinct interactions in Act 3.

The update also broadens combat and build options: a Rage Mage Barbarian subclass introduces spellcasting during rage, a new Sorcerer subclass focuses on fire and grease, and the Shadow Reaper class targets crowd-focused play with two specialization paths. For Druid players, expanded Wildshapes add multiple new forms covering several creature types.

Platform scope: console-only mod curation

This content is specifically delivered to the console version of Baldur’s Gate 3, where mods must be vetted and manually uploaded. The update continues the recent cadence of weekly console drops after a short break, reflecting Larian’s ongoing effort to curate and approve community-created content for console use.

What comes next

Larian has moved back into a more regular weekly pattern for console drops following the three-week gap. With this batch combining major structural changes (level cap, party recruitment) alongside multiple class and gameplay systems, console players can expect further curated additions in upcoming updates as the cycle continues.
