    Baldur's Gate Making its Return.

    Im hedging my bets on a F2P mmo Model.

    http://www.baldursgate.com/

    http://www.gamebanshee.com/news/1070...ming-soon.html

    It's been nearly 11 years since Throne of Bhaal brought the Baldur's Gate series to a legendary and satisfying close, but now... something is stirring behind the scenes. We don't know what it is just yet, exactly, but what we do know is that there's now a theme song-playing Baldur's Gate teaser site online and that former BioWare designer Trent Oster and his crew over at Beamdog are behind it.

    Does this mean we're going to be getting some kind of a remake in the same vein as MDK2 HD? Or perhaps an iOS, Android, or console port like Interplay and Beamdog teamed up for previously? Or maybe, just maybe, it will be an entirely new game in the Baldur's Gate franchise? We don't know, and when we quizzed Trent about it, all he'd say is:
    We're not related to the Steam complete edition, I can tell you that much. Other than that, we're hoping to announce something soon.

    That "complete edition" he mentions was already sleuthed last week, so apparently this is something totally different. To add to the mystery, there are comments left for us in the teaser site's source page:
    Shadowy Figure- Raise Dead : Infinity Engine

    For years, I clung to the memory of it. Then the memory of the memory.

    And then... it returned. Better than it was before.

    Pore over the tapestries and works of art hanging from our walls if you wish, Child of Bhaal... perhaps you will find a clue. But patience, ah... patience would reveal it all.

    As the silver moon waxes and wanes, so too does life.

    Let your imaginations run wild, Bhaalspawn.

    I played Baldur's Gate II around late 2000 with my buddy, I tell ya that cooperative was good times. At the time I couldn't believe how big that game was. It was a very good experience!

    Meh, don't care for Boulder's Gate games that much. But give me a new Planescape game and I'd be all over it.

    while BG is one of my all time favorites, I never felt it needed any more sequels. the story was brought to an end, nothing else needs to be told. create some fresh IPs ffs, this resurrecting of old franchises is getting tired..

    I know man, especially they could just call it a Forgotten Realms adventure and put all the same content in the game since the world is huge and lore is fleshed out.

    I know I spelled it wrong, but this is a forum, not an English class.

    But if you want to correct someone, you could at least get the spelling right yourself.

    A sequel worthy of the first could never be made these days, but I would be all over it too anyway.
