Eh, it's just a name.

I don't know if they changed anything with D:OS2, but in general Larian made more hack'n'slashy titles, so eh.

[jastey]

Definitely unexpected. Let's see what this will bring!

[Vlan]

I mean, I am kinda excited for it, but how would this even work? The Bhaalspawn saga ended, and you're some kind of half god now. Not sure why anything would bring you back to Baldurs Gate to begin with, now that you have access to all kinds of planes and whatsoever.

ToB capped the Bhaalspawn saga rather well. I hope we're telling another (level 1) story in the Forgotten Realms and not re-visiting the Bhaalspawn.

Or at least, not the Bhaalspawn from BG/BG2.

[jastey]

The epic tale of Biff the Understudy. "How it was feeding the lines to CHARNAME's Bhaalspan story!"

[CamDawg]

Or the adventures of Viekang bouncing through the planes.

[Psionica]

Jaheira Spinoff!

[theacefes]

If they make it turn based like the new Divinity series I will be sad.  However I've heard nothing but great things about the new series.

I do know their D:OS engine is very moddable

[Brokenkatana]

The font used in the website pic looks closer to the Dark Alliance games, not the Bhaalspawn saga games.

[DavidW]

The glorious later career of Bondari. (Including, ironically, a 'no reloads' option.)

[Jarno Mikkola]

Well, there's the D&D beyond's new Baldur's gate thingy... in where a level 1 -13 characters visit the "hell". In case anyone of you is even close to the loop.

Baldur's Gate: Desent into the Avernus. Just the BGDitA, is official WotC stuff and all that.
