That’s right folks. In about seven hours from the time of this article’s publication and with the flamboyant lyrics of Europe – The Final Countdown blasting through my skull, I bring you the following news:
The children of Bhaal will rise gain!
Well, that’s what we’re all hoping for, at least.
Today (15 March 2012), shortly after the recent reappearance of the previously dormant BaldursGate.com website at the end of February 2012, they’ve cranked the hype machine up a notch.
Anyone visiting the site today will be privy to music reminiscent of the theme from the original role-playing masterpiece and a counter, slowly ticking down.
With seven hours until the bell tolls 21:00 SAST to what we all hope is a big announcement that will finally put speculation to rest, anticipation amongst fans is at an all-time high.
Rumoured to be a remake of the original Baldur’s Gate, released in 1998, the remake is expected to be a modernisation by Oster Studios’ Overhaul Games, who, last year, released MDK2HD.
However, which platforms the remake is intended to ship on remains speculation at best. But no matter, in just a few more hours we’ll know more.
