A few weeks ago, a
mysterious new website went online with the
Baldur's Gate logo. Fans of the games quickly started looking through the website's source code for more information, only to be greeted with cryptic phrases.
Today, Enhanced Editions of both the original
Baldur's Gate and
Baldur's Gate II were
announced. The
official website has been getting hit hard by a great deal of traffic. Trent Oster, formerly of BioWare but now with Beamdog, the digital distributor / developer behind this "enhanced edition," has been answering questions
via Twitter in the meantime. You can also see some text from the official website at
this PC Gamer article, and
Joystiq also has some information from the companies involved.
I've never played either
Baldur's Gate myself, though over the past few weeks I've found myself thinking about purchasing the first one and giving it a try. Maybe I'll finally do that when these editions are released this summer.
