Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition trailer shows gameplay
by Alice O'Connor, Nov 23, 2012 8:00am PSTThe shiny release of Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition will indeed arrive on PC next week, developer Overhaul Games has confirmed, so come celebrate by watching a trailer showing off retro RPG action. What does it look like? Well, you know, like Baldur's Gate but a bit enhanced.
Overhaul has revamped BioWare's classic with co-op, support for modern operating systems, high-res cutscenes, new party members and quests, and other jazz.
It'll be sold exclusively through Overhaul's parent company Beamdog, where you can pre-order now. If you use Beamdog's client, you can preload the game now to start playing as soon as it's out on November 28. Beamdog will also offer a standalone installer too, mind.
With BG:EE out, Overhaul will start work on revamping Baldur's Gate 2. After that, Beamdog president Trent Oster told us in an interview, it'll look at DLC.

I would be ecstatic if they announced something like "Infinity 2" that was a modern game engine specifically made to the complexity and glory of the old IE but with modern graphics and technical functionality. And then make a BG3 on that. Its such a slippery slope though. Do you make a BG3 2E? 3.5E? 4E?
I am pretty excited about all this TBH. I am eager to see the things that have been added/improved.
