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

So there you have it. Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance II is out next week, on July 20th, so jump in if you like dark elves probably. It will be on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
