The Enhanced Edition of Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn is now available for pre-purchase over on the game's official website, where it's available for the Mac and PC.
The game's release was previously held in limbo due to a publishing dispute over the first Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, which saw release last year. As that's been cleared up, the developers at Beamdog have the greenlight to go ahead and release the enhanced edition of its sequel.
Originally launched in September 2000, Baldur's Gate II was held at the time as one of the best games on the PC, and remains to date one of the best RPGs of all time. It concludes the Bhaalspawn Saga that began with the first Baldur's Gate.
“We are thrilled that our partners at Beamdog have confirmed a date for the rerelease of what many people consider one of the greatest RPGs ever on PC, (Baldur’s Gate II),” said Nathan Stewart, Brand Director for D&D at Wizards of the Coast. “As we continue to expand our world-class storytelling on digital platforms, it is great to bring this classic to new devices and share the rich fantasy of D&D with new fans.”
Like the first BGEE, BG2EE will also include the expansion pack Throne of Bhaal, and a host of new content including four new allies for your party with quests of their own, and The Black Pits 2: Gladiators of Thay. The new version of the game includes full HD resolution support and area art remastered from the original renders.
The game will go live on November 15, 2013.
