Baldur’s Gate originally launched in November of 1998. I was just 8 years old at the time, and while that’s certainly no excuse, the game that’s often called one of the greatest RPG’s ever developed is one that I wouldn’t learn about until years later.
I’m much older now (22), and I’ve still never played through the game. I was extremely excited when the Enhanced Edition was announced, as such a huge update to such a classic title meant that I simply wouldn’t be able to ignore it any longer.
The release date is now just two days away and a new trailer has just been released for the game. It looks awesome, and I can’t wait to get my hands on it! Again, Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition will be available for Mac, PC, and iOS on Wednesday, and on Android at an unspecified date.
Are you a fan of the series? Are you planning to pick up this new edition? For which platform? My iPad is the device I always have with me, and Baldur’s Gate seems perfectly suited to a touchscreen, so it’s probably safe to say that the mobile version will be my edition of choice!
