Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition Revealed

The countdown clock on baldursgate.com has ended, revealing not a sequel, but an enhanced edition.

We're not sure what exactly that means, but the obvious assumption is that it will involve the letters H and D in some way or another. We also know that we can expect to see Baldur's Gate: Enhanced edition this summer.

[Original story]There's no telling what it is counting down to, but there is a backwards counting clock, and it has something to do with Baldur's Gate.

It's over on baldursgate.com, and it has about four hours to go. The last Baludr's Gate we saw was on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox back in 2004, so it's probably about time to return to the franchise. We will likely have more news in about four hours.

Thanks to John for the news tip!

I like how they didn't announce anything, but just quietly put up a countdown for those who notice. Very excited for whatever it is!

i hope they do what bethesda did to fallout, started off kind of like the old ones, and transformed into an awesome RPG

I'm hoping for a Dark Alliance Reboot.

Pleeeeease don't be a console game, pleeeeeease. Be a true BG, none of this hack and slash nonsense. The music and background gives me hope though. I don't see why they'd use the portraits of people from the first two games if it wasn't going to have something to do with them.

Only ones I've played we're the 2 console games, & I enjoyed them quite a bit. I hope this is the return of Balders Gate :)

I would love to see a remake of BG1 or 2, with updated graphics.

OMG OMG OMG OMG I AM SO EXCITED

Considering the icons in the background... maybe it's a HD re-release? Or a complete overhaul? I'm guessing it has to do with the PC game as the portraits were not in any of the hack and slash games for console. More Baldur's Gate please! I disliked Neverwinter Nights.

Baldur's gate and Diablo announcements in the same day? Good thing I beat Mass Effect 3 two days ago, I may have imploded.
