That&#8217;s just me <em>and<\/em> everybody else, apparently, including the people already busy giving Baldur&#8217;s Gate a makeover.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been getting a lot of requests for a revisit of [Planescape:] Torment,&#8221; Beamdog boss Cameron Tofer told Shacknews. &#8220;We would love to have the opportunity to do it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Overhaul Games, a division of Beamdog, is working on Baldur&#8217;s Gate: Enhanced Edition, recently confirmed for a PC and iOS launch a bit later this year. The games are being remade using a new version of the Infinity Engine, seen in both previous games and the Icewind Dale series, as well as Planescape: Torment.<\/p>\n<p>The studio has previously also expressed interest in doing a third Baldur&#8217;s Gate game.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Baldur&#8217;s Gate III has been our long-term goal,&#8221; Cameron Tofer told GameSpy. &#8220;We have a lot of things to put in place before such a project can be launched. So currently there is no such project but that&#8217;s the one we want to do. Our thoughts have been that Enhanced Edition for [Baldur&#8217;s Gate] and [Baldur&#8217;s Gate II] just make sense before there&#8217;s any Baldur&#8217;s Gate III.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h5>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shacknews.com\/article\/73070\/a-baldurs-gate-enhanced-success-could-lead-to-a-new\" target=\"_blank\">Shacknews<\/a><\/h5>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Related articles<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is a long-term goal\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/34441-baldurs-gate-3-is-a-long-term-goal.html\">Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3 is a long-term goal<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><a href=\"..\/news\/34321-baldurs-gate-enhanced-what-we-know-so-far.html\">Baldur\u2019s Gate Enhanced \u2013 what we know so far<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Will my immortal beloved return?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":159,"featured_media":32342,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3],"tags":[31,2528,2986,2750,2530,2736,2985],"class_list":["post-35052","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-pc","tag-active","tag-baldurs-gate","tag-baldurs-gate-ii","tag-baldurs-gate-enhanced-edition","tag-beamdog","tag-overhaul-games","tag-planescape-torment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35052","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/159"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35052"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35052\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35060,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35052\/revisions\/35060"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32342"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35052"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35052"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35052"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
