Beamdog are the developers behind the two Enhanced Editions of Baldur’s Gate I and II, and now the company has announced a third title that will be coming our way soon. Officially called Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear, this particular game will take place between when the first two titles happened. In other words it will be a new story after the death of Sarevok but before the rise of Irenicus.
Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear will follow the same style of gameplay as its older brethren, so players should expect a top-down isometric RPG that continues to follow strict D&D rules. It will also be developed using the Infinity Engine, so it will have that same visual styling as well.
According to Beamdog, here’s is what to expect with Siege of Dragonspear in terms of the game’s storyline:
The events between Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition and Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition are at last revealed in this exciting new expansion to the original game.
Though Sarevok is dead and his plan for war averted, peace eludes the citizens of Baldur’s Gate. A crusade marches in the north, seizing supplies, forcing locals into military service, and disrupting trade along the Sword Coast. A charismatic warrior known as the Shining Lady leads this army, her background shrouded in mystery. Can the rumors be true—is she, like you, the child of a god?
The closer you get to the Shining Lady, the more you realize your father, the dead Lord of Murder still casts a long shadow upon your path. Baldur’s Gate has put its faith in you, but you must determine whose interests you truly serve before you face the Shining Lady among the ruins of Dragonspear Castle…
This is about as far as Beamdog has gone with revealing details for this upcoming Baldur’s Gate game. However, as we near the launch date for it, more details should get released, so we will be sure to post an update wen that happens. As for when this game will be landing on Android, right now there’s no specific release dates announced. It will be released pretty soon for PC/Mac/Linux, and then later this year for mobile.
