Hopefully the year of waiting will be worth it.

The sequel was hinted at sometime ago back when the first game was still in development. Since the first game’s release, it has had its Android development stop and the iOS version pulled due to contractual issues which were eventually solved. Once solved the iOS version returned and the Android version went back into development.

Now we have news that the second enhanced Baldur’s Gate game is well on its way to multiple platforms including Android on November 15th, 2013. Like the first game, Baldur’s Gate 2 will be getting a complete overhaul ranging from the visuals to four additional new characters, Widescreen support, easier multiplayer and more.

Exercising his growing combat mastery, the monk Rasaad yn Bashir leaves his former allies to hunt the dark figure that corrupted his brother. A mysterious thief in service to mysterious master seeks powerful artifacts from across the globe. Recruit them, use their powers, and uncover over 30 new locations.
