A New Evil Ending: A Father's Legacy

Larian Studios recently unveiled a 52-second cinematic teaser on X (formerly Twitter), showcasing a new evil ending for the Dark Urge. This preview depicts the grim consequences of a completely evil playthrough, showcasing the Dark Urge's descent into utter depravity.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!

The teaser shows the Dark Urge's companions meeting a horrific end as their leader succumbs to Bhaal's influence, seizing control of the Netherbrain. The Dark Urge, under Bhaal's control, forces their companions to their deaths, setting the stage for a reign of terror. A chilling narration accompanies the scene: "Time for the final act. Your tragedy has become mankind's," foreshadowing the Dark Urge's eventual demise.
