It was just last year that Beamdog’s Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition was announced, with the game released in November 2012. However we’re sure many are wondering about the progress of its sequel, Baldur’s Gate 2: Enhanced Edition. Well the good news for fans of the original franchise is that Beamdog is still hard at work on the sequel and according to Trent Oster (via ShackNews), it looks like gamers will be able to look forward to a fair amount of new content. Oster was quoted as saying, “We’re hard at work on BG2:EE and it is going well… Phil (our design lead) mentioned to me there is over 350,000 words of new content.”The 350,000 additional words of content is expected to cover both the original game, Shadows of Amn, and the expansion, Throne of Bhaal, which is expected to ship together with the new Enhanced Edition. Of course we’re not sure if this will actually “enhance” the game itself so we guess we will just have to wait and see. We’ve also heard that Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition was met with mixed reviews, so do you guys think Beamdog will be able to do a better job with Baldur’s Gate 2: Enhanced Edition?
