BioWare is reportedly developing a remake of Baldur's Gate 2, with former co-lead designer Kevin Martens already working on the project. PC Gamer reports that the remake is in active development, following the massive success and Game of the Year awards won by Baldur's Gate 3.
Former lead designer Kevin Martens reportedly returns to work on the project
The news centers on BioWare, the developer behind the original Baldur's Gate series and its recent hit, Baldur's Gate 3. Kevin Martens, who served as co-lead designer on the original Baldur's Gate 2, has reportedly returned to work on a remake of that specific title.
PC Gamer cites an unnamed source familiar with the project to confirm that development is underway. The report suggests that a remake of the original Baldur's Gate may also be developed concurrently with the BG2 remake, though neither project has been officially announced by BioWare or publisher Electronic Arts.
The timing of these reports follows the critical and commercial triumph of Baldur's Gate 3, which won numerous Game of the Year awards. Following the critical acclaim and Game of the Year awards won by Baldur's Gate 3, there is growing speculation about remakes for other titles in the series.
No pricing or availability details have been released for either potential remake. BioWare has not provided an official statement regarding the status of these projects, and no release windows or platform information is currently available.
Unconfirmed reports suggest that former lead designer Kevin Martens is working on a remake of Baldur's Gate 2, with potential plans for an original Baldur's Gate remake as well. While the involvement of Kevin Martens suggests serious development activity, both remakes remain unconfirmed rumors pending official announcements from the developer.
