Beamdog, the developer behind Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition and Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition, has announced they will return to the franchise one more time with an interquel that will bridge the story of both games.
The currently untitled Baldur’s Gate Interquel will use the same Infinity Engine that powered the Enhanced Editions of Baldur’s Gate and Baldur’s Gate II. According to a post on the Beamblog, more information about the game (including a release date) will be announced in the Spring. The game is “something bigger than we’ve ever done before,” but the developer did stress that this shouldn’t be considered “Baldur’s Gate III.”
That said, Beamdog is already in the planning stage for their next project and will announce more details about Adventure Z (clearly a codename, as are Project: Beartrap and Project: Sharktrap) this Summer. Whatever you call it, the developer says it is a “departure” for the team and they’re looking forward to telling us all about it.
