Overview
- Multiple gaming outlets corroborated a PC Gamer story on Monday that said a Baldur's Gate 2 remake is in development and that the original Baldur's Gate is likely to be remade as well.
- Reports name Kevin Martens, co‑lead designer on the 2000 Baldur's Gate 2, as contributing to the BG2 remake while he also consults on Wizards' Archetype project Exodus.
- Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast declined to comment and Martens did not respond to requests, so the projects remain unconfirmed and should be treated as reports rather than official announcements.
- Key details about the remakes — including which studios are building them, the technical approach, whether rules will be updated to modern D&D, and any release windows — have not been disclosed.
- The coverage notes commercial context: Baldur's Gate 3's 2023 success and Larian's move away from the IP give Wizards a reason to refresh the classics to attract new players and buy time before a future Baldur's Gate 4.
