На сайте с говорящим адресом http://baldursgate.com/ тикает таймер и играет загадочная музыка.

Отсчет закончится сегодня  в 9 (21:00) вечера по Киеву (в 11 (23:00) вечера по Москве). Что-то грядет?

Ходили слухи о:

1. Steam-изданиях игр

2. iOS-порте игр серии

3. перевыпуске игр на новом движке

4. Baldur's Gate 3

PS. А тем временем Трент Ознер (Ex-BioWare, «worked on Baldur’s Gate, lead the development of Neverwinter Nights and its expansions, worked for two years as the Director of Technology and lead the development on the Eclipse Engine (which powers Dragon Age)») из Beamdog пишет в твиттере:
