Baldur’s Gate is back, as Atari has officially announced Baldur’s Gate Enhanced Edition and Baldur’s Gate II Enhanced Edition, for release this Summer 2012.
There is no other information about the games save the titles, but the “enhanced edition” seems to indicate they’ll be the same original Baldur’s Gate titles - but with updated graphics, sound, widescreen format and HD resolution.
The original Baldur’s Gate was released in November 1998, and the Baldur’s Gate bundleware which contains both games and both expansions is still a very popular purchase. A basic Baldur’s Gate with a new coat of paint would be a wonderful way to bring BioWare’s classic RPG back into the public consciousness.
