This is big news, for many many fans! (myself included!) Old school RPG fans rejoice! The Baldur Gate games hold a special place in many a gamers heart as one of the finest RPGs ever, with an engaging story, wonderful characters and deep RPG elements. Details are slim but we do know the games are being remade by Overhaul Games, they have this little tid bit on there website: " We are Overhaul Games. since we got our start at Bioware we've made a few games, met a few friends, and now we're back working on the games we love. For years we've wanted to continue our journey on Baldur's Gate, and now after months negotiations we get to do just that." - and this latter statement - "will feature a re-forged version of the Infinity Engine with a variety of modern improvements, We're adding new original content in the spirit of the original game".Other good news is that this will not involve EA-Bioware, thank the gaming gods! Mainly because the D&D rules set is now in use by Wizards of the Coast.
So we can expect a better looking/sounding game with some new content mixed in. Sounds like a dream come true so far!
