The counter has reached zero on the
Baldur's Gate Website, which has resulted in load their server is not up to, so a little patience is required to visit right now.
The announcement they were counting down to is that work is underway on Enhanced Editions of
Baldur's Gate and
Baldur's Gate II, which are being overhauled by
Overhaul Games, a division of Beamdog (apologies for arigially writing that as "Moondog"). Details are still scant, though
Gamer's Hell points the way to
tweets by Beamdog's Trent Oster adding that
clarifying that there will be separate Enhanced Editions for BG1 and BG2, that
Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition will include the Tales of the Sword Coast Expansion, and
they are very interested in supporting the mod community. He
also states they are looking at releasing the Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition this summer.
