The sorta-kinda expansion to Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition
I forgot this was happening! Beamdog (the dudes and dudettes behind the enhanced editions of bothBaldur’s Gategames andIcewind Dale) is making an expansion for the originalBaldur’s Gatethat bridges the gap between it and its sequel, titledSiege of Dragonspear.
While this was originally a small project, it’s now going to last about 25 hours and include a new class, the “spirit-calling shaman.” The original cast returns along with some new characters, such as a Flaming Fist archer, an alcholic skald,a goblin shaman, and a Gnome Cleric (Pike, is that you?). If you so choose, you can import your character and save data across all three games.
Siege of Dragonspearwill be coming to Windows, Mac and Linux on March 31, with Android and iOS to follow soon after. Cross-platform cooperative play is also a Thing that is Happening, so you’re able to get five buddies and all adventure together. The standard edition of the game will cost $19.99, though there’s also a Collector’s Box for $129.99. Keep in mind that you will needBaldur’s Gate: Enhanced Editionto be able to play this expansion.
