Beamdog har annonceret en ny udvidelse for Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition. Denne udvidelse skal fungere som bro mellem det første og det andet spil i den kendte RPG-serie.
Ifølge Beamdog skulle udvidelsen tilbyde en 25-timers oplevelse, der binder begivenhederne fra Baldur's Gate og Baldur's Gate 2 sammen. Spillere vil have kunne overføre deres gamle gemte spil til udvidelsen, og så er det også muligt at spille seks-mands cross-play co-op. PC, Mac og Linux versionerne er klar før slutningen af 2015, og kort efter skulle det ankomme til iOS og Android også.
"Though Sarevok is dead and his plan for war averted, peace eludes the citizens of Baldur's Gate. A crusade marches from the north, seizing supplies, forcing locals into military service, and disrupting trade along the Sword Coast. A charismatic warrior known as the Shining Lady leads this army, her background shrouded in mystery. Can the rumors be true - is she, like you, the child of a god?
The closer you get to the Shining Lady, the more you realize your father, the dead Lord of Murder still casts a long shadow upon your path. Baldur's Gate has put its faith in you, but you must determine whose interests you truly serve before you face the Shining Lady among the ruins of Dragonspear Castle..."
