Fans who have been eagerly awaiting a new Baldur’s Gate will be happy to know that the original team behind the series is interested in taking the franchise forward, if however they can resolve some legal issues.
Beamdog studio head Trent Oster explained that there are contractual and legal issues with Atari to sort out regarding the release of Baldur’s Gate 2: Enhanced Edition, which was pulled down from various marketplaces last week, before work on a third instalment can begin.
“The prognosis [for resuming work on Baldur’s Gate] is mixed,” said Oster. “Best case, we can sort this out soon. Worst case, this could be in legal hell for a while. I like making games, but this contractual dispute bullshit keeps me up at night.”
“Baldur’s Gate 2: Enhanced Edition is on indefinite hold, as is the current patch. Baldur’s Gate 3, we are still interested in the concept, but currently I’d say were very demoralized.”
