Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on Monday that PC Gamer, citing an anonymous source, says Wizards of the Coast is working on a full remake of Baldur's Gate 2 and that original co‑lead designer Kevin Martens is involved.
- Coverage says the original Baldur's Gate is likely to be remade as well and that the two projects could be developed at the same time to preserve story continuity between the games.
- Hasbro and Wizards declined to comment to reporters and PC Gamer noted that Kevin Martens did not respond to requests for comment before publication.
- Reports make clear these would be full remakes rather than the 2012–13 Enhanced Editions which updated the originals, and they leave open major questions about engine choice, graphics, and whether combat will be modernized.
- Industry context in the coverage links the rumored remakes to Baldur's Gate 3's success and recent WotC staffing changes, and it says remaking older entries could be a lower‑risk way to keep fans engaged while a new Baldur's Gate is planned.
