For the first time, the classics Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate 2, Planescape: Torment and Icewind Dale, and later Neverwinter Nights, will be released for consoles. All titles are available as digital downloads in the respective shops. In addition, Baldur's Gate and Planescape: Torment including Icewind Dale are also available as physical versions - even as a Collector's Edition.

The Baldur's Gate series is now celebrating its 20th birthday. Both parts are therefore coming onto the market including all additional content that has been released so far for consoles. Also included is the Siege of the Dragonspear expansion, as well as new content developed by Beamdog that aims to bridge the two video game parts.
With the role-playing complete packages, Beamdog and Skybound Games want to inspire newcomers to the classics as well as give veterans the chance to enjoy the genre representatives on the big screens again. The console versions have therefore been graphically adapted and optimized for modern large screens, and the user interface has also been revised. In addition, the developers have geared the controls to gamepads. Particularly exciting: There is new content, new characters and classes and expanded customization options in the character editor.
