Perhaps the most iconic isometric RPG of all time, Baldur's Gate and now Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, is going have it's story continued, in the form of a brand new expansion pack.
Siege of the Dragonspear, taking place between Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, coming soon with 25+ hours of enjoyment.
This expansion will continue the Bhaalspawn story, explaining the events between the first two Baldur's Gate games and setting the stage for future events. Take control of a spirit summoning Shaman class to help vanquish your enemies and enjoy new items and weapons to equip your party with.
This isn't just going to be a content expansion, either, but will include a revamped UI for a more updated and modern look, taking advantage of what the Infinity Engine has to offer. That also means that there are going to be some fantastically hand-painted new areas to explore with a very vibrant visual style.
And if you're truly feeling adventurous, you might want to try the cross-platform multi-player functionality. That's right, you'll be able to play with friends that have Baldur's Gate: Siege of the Dragonspear on iOS and Android when it comes out. The expansion pack will be coming "soon".
