Baldur’s Gate 2 is set to receive a remake. For many, the RPG is considered one of the best games ever. MeinMMO explains what is behind the current rumors.
What is this rumor about? Currently, there is a rumor that after the great success of Baldur’s Gate 3, a remake of the predecessor is allegedly in development. At least that’s what the English-speaking magazine PCGamer claims to have learned from a source close to the project.
What is also known: Kevin Martens, co-lead designer of the old Baldur’s Gate games and Jade Empire, is reportedly involved. He knows his way around the games. It is said: “according to a source familiar with the project, Martens is already working on the remake of ‘Baldur’s Gate 2’.”
Furthermore, it is supposed to be a “real” remake, not just a version with widescreen support like the Enhanced Edition from Beamdog.
So far, there are only rumors and speculations, Hasbro does not want to comment
What is behind the rumors? In principle, it is true: There is currently no official confirmation or denial of the rumor. Neither from the license holder “Wizards of the Coast” nor from Martens or from a studio that could be involved in the task. Hasbro, the company behind “Wizards of the Coast”, did not want to comment on the rumors.
However, if something is announced, at least the Summer Game Fest starting June 5, 2026, is a good venue for it. The more-or-less successor event to the old E3 is often used to present new games or projects. But that is pure speculation.
Who most likely will not be involved in the development: Larian Studios, as they are more than occupied with their own game “Divinity” and have concluded their journey in the world of Baldur’s Gate for now.
Benedikt says: Personally, I don’t really know what to make of this announcement. Baldur’s Gate 1 + 2 are personally some of the best RPGs ever and significantly better than the widely popular Baldur’s Gate 3. After over 1,000 hours of gameplay, I have explored almost every corner and dungeon in Baldur’s Gate 2.
Just the discussion that both parts 1 and 2 are to be developed in parallel. Can that even work? Because part 2 cannot be understood without part 1; that would be like opening a book and starting to read in the middle.
By the way, I have been playing almost exclusively the Paladin in Dungeons & Dragons or in Baldur’s Gate 1 + 2 for many years. Almost exclusively, as the only switch went wrong. You can read more about it on MeinMMO: I have been playing Baldur’s Gate for almost 15 years and always choose the Paladin as my class
