Baldur's Gate III on the way from Larian Studios

While I still consider Baldur's Gate to be "new fangled" and only ever got into the Gold Box games , at this point they are 20 years old and used the 2e rules, so pretty old school.

At any rate, Larian Studios, maker of the Divinity games, has somewhat stealthily announced Baldur's Gate Three

No idea if it will be using the old ruleset (which Baldur's Gate remakes have continued to use) or move to 5e. Or for that matter, if they will be real time with pause (which I never liked) or turn based, as most of Larian's RPGs have been.

Baldur's Gate new expansion available April 1st

While I never really played any of these games very far because I am terrible at real time combat, even passable, Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II have been extremely popular to this day.

So much so, that they had remastered version with new content, and now that remastered version gets a new expansion pack releasing tomorrow (or maybe later tonight).

While it's for the 2nd edition rules (not my favorite), it's still great to see AD&D games being made.

Has a new class, the Shaman. I think there was a shaman in one of the 2e splatbooks, dunno if it uses that or is completely new.

edit: It's up on Steam

Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition getting an expansion pack

Although I considered Baldur's Gate to be new fangled since it wasn't like the Gold Box games or Eye of the Beholder, it was still an AD&D based game and has been extremely popular since it was released, to the point where it received an "enhanced edition" a couple years ago, and now that enhanced edition is getting an expansion pack, Siege of Dragonspear

Baldur's Gate Midquel in the works

Not a sequel, not a prequel, but a game set in between Baldur's Gate 1 and II. Presumably it will also use the AD&D rules (2e) that I & II use.
