If you’ve been getting the urge to replay Baldur’s Gate, you might want to wait til this fall. The classic role-playing game will see new life on September 18, when developer Beamdog releases Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition, an enhanced remake with new characters and a new adventure that the company says will take you six hours to play through. PC and Mac versions of the game will run you $20 unless you pre-order, in which case they’ll be Yono all app $18. They’ll come with three new playable sidekicks: half-Orc Blackguard Dorn (whose head is pictured below), half-elf Wild Mage Neera, and human monk Rasaad. Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition will also feature a new dungeon called The Black Pits, set within the Underdark, that tasks you with fighting your way through fifteen levels of arena-style battles.cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"5928997","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"uncategorized","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"uncategorized","TAGS":"baldurs-gate","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); The iPad version, which Beamdog is hoping to Yono all app release around that same time in September, will cost $10. The interface for this version will be totally retooled so it’s pleasant to play on your tablet. However, new characters Dorn and Neera will be sold separately as downloadable content for the iPad edition. Additional voice sets and portraits will also be DLC. The new Black Pits adventure is included with the game. Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition will also come to Android. Release TBA. This version of Baldur’s Gate will also feature the classes, kits, and races that were available in Baldur’s Gate II. It squashes a whole bunch of the original version’s bugs and also offers cross-platform multiplayer among all versions. Here’s how Beamdog describes The Black Pits: “Rouse yourselves, you lice-laden layabouts. Stand and salute your new master, Baeloth the Entertainer!” Across the realms, individuals of great power and prestige receive a scroll via magical means. Unfurling it, they discover that they have been selected as one of the very few to enjoy the finest forms of entertainment in all creation… Come one, come all! Baeloth the Entertainer cordially invites you to the greatest spectacle the realms have to offer – mortal pitted against mortal in a desperate bid to survive! Thrilling combat, scintillating magic, and the grim spectre of death lurk above this, the greatest of all shows! All this and more can be enjoyed within… THE BLACK PITS! Deep within the Underdark where few dare to tread, the mad drow Baeloth has used his extensive mastery of magic to force a duergar colony into creating an entertainment complex of his own design. He has invited guests from across the realms, from Maztica to Menzoberranzan, and they will readily attend – Baeloth is known to be an excellent showman. — The Black Pits is one of the enhancements that make up Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition that allows you to create a full party
