Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition was supposed to be coming out tomorrow. Sorry, classic role-players, but that ain’t happening any more.
Overwhelmed by feedback, suggestions and the continued work on translations and the addition of new bonus features not found in the original release, Overhaul Games has made the sad but necessary decision to push the Enhanced Edition back a couple months.
The delay puts the PC/Mac/iPad RPG remaster to a new date of November 30th, with release timing for Android devices still to be announced.
If you’ve pre-ordered the PC version already, this delay may actually be a blessing in disguise. According to Trent Oster, President of Overhaul Games, they are “working on something a little extra for you.” At the moment, pre-buyers already get an instant $2 discount, a forum badge, and pre-load access to have the game installed and ready to play as soon as launch arrives.

In 2004, three years removed from high school and still looking for a career direction in life, Matt landed his first gig in the video game review business writing for the now-defunct website BonusStage.com. After the sad and untimely close of BonusStage, the former staff went on to found VGBlogger.com, and after a short stint as US Site Manager for AceGamez Matt turned his attention to VGBlogger, and to this day is dedicated to making it one of the top video game blogs in all the blogosphere.
Matt is a fair-minded reviewer and lover of games of all platforms and types, big or small, hyped or niche, big-budget or indie. But that doesn't mean he will let poor games slide without a good thrashing when necessary.
