Interplay Entertainment has announced that it is remastering Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance II for modern consoles. The game, eighteen years after its original release, will be out later this month.
Check out the new trailer for the remaster below:
The game first came out on PlayStation 2 and Xbox. And, because it was well received, the new release won’t change much. It will include the local co-op, and you will still be guiding five heroes through some eighty levels.
This from a press release on the game:
- Hack your way or cast powerful spells through over 80 perilous levels
- Hidden areas, secret characters, and hundreds of items to discover, customize, and use
- Forge unique magical weapons and armor to maximize the damage you inflict in battle
- Conquer hordes of beasts and armies of Hobgoblins, Ghouls, Golems and dreaded Dragons
- Compelling single or two-player cooperative modes of play
- Four difficulty levels to challenge even the hardiest adventurer; “Easy”, “Normal”, “Hard” and “Extreme”.
- Fully voice-acted by an all-star cast and two secret characters; Drizzt Do’Urden and Artemis Entreri.
- Verified Steamdeck certification.
- Local co-op support!
- Fully voice-acted by an all-star cast
