Beamdog has announced a new expansion for Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition, called Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear. Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear adds a new chapter to the Bhaalspawn saga. The events occurring between Baldur’s Gate and Baldur’s Gate II are at last revealed in this 25-hour expansion pack.
Chris Avellone said:
“I wasn’t expecting Siege of Dragonspear to bridge Baldur’s Gate and its sequel the way it did, and I was pleasantly surprised, especially looking back from Baldur’s Gate II and seeing how the mid-prequel sets the stage for events to come. Siege made me feel as if I’d come home after a long absence to find old friends waiting for me, with the same life and spark I remembered from when they first journeyed by my side.”
Here are the key features for Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear
- Expand Your Story: Explore new areas, fight new monsters, and win new rewards in the Siege of Dragonspear expansion to Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition. Continue the adventure by exporting your game to Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition
- The Crusade Rises: A sharp and subtle adventure that pits you against an enigmatic new foe
- Explore the Sword Coast: Venture through vibrant new hand-painted areas in the classic style of the original Baldur’s Gate
- Gather Your Party: The original cast returns to kick butt for goodness – along with Neera, Rasaad, Dorn, and four new additions!
- To Infinity and Beyond: Updated UI and improved Infinity Engine features
- Extra Class: New items, quests, and a new class: the spirit-calling shaman!

Enjoy!

Really ? no one interested in commenting this? Really?
This is great news! However, why a BG1 expansion and not BG3? I think everyone was expecting that one.
Yeap great news mate for all of us old school rpg gamers…Nope actually Beamdog never said they were working on BG3 😉 imo IE+ is a great engine and it have potential for future IE 2e games, even it have “outdated graphics” (as some people like to QQ) i would like to see more future IE+ games! Keep calm & roll a D20 mate!
I would have preferred a new game or BG3 or a reboot. I hate it when people re-open a story which is finished, this will become like the forgotten sands of the BG series.
