Vurt posts on our forums that
BaldursGate.com is suddenly alive, over a decade after the trilogy ended. As I post, the site seems to be down but earlier there was a single page with the logo, main theme music and an in-game quote. A
Whois search reveals Trent Oster - former BioWare employee and founder of digital vendor Beamdog - as the registrant.
GameBanshee let us know they reached out to Trent who told them they were hoping to make an announcement soon.
One theory would be some sort of remake - you may recall Beamdog has previously released
MDK2 HD, an official HD makeover for BioWare's old action/adventure.
The source code for the page is certainly suggestive, with text such as:
<!— February 13, 2012 —>
<!— Shadowy Figure- Raise Dead : Infinity Engine —>
<!— oh dear it's coming soon —>
<!— February 28, 2012 —>
<!— Shadowy Figure- Raise Dead : Infinity Engine —>
<!— You haven't guessed it yet! —>
Hmmm…should we get excited?
More information.
