Skybound and Beamdog bring six BioWare RPGs to consoles this fall

[Cal Jeffrey]

Award winning: If you were as into the Forgotten Realms video games as I was, you may be happy to hear that they are coming to consoles this fall. Skybound Games and Beamdog are bringing six of the classics and all of their DLC in three bundled packages to consoles in September.

Beamdog and Skybound Games announced today that they are bringing several classic Dungeons & Dragons games to consoles in just a few months. Baldur’s Gate, the Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear expansion, Baldur’s Gate II, Planescape: Torment, Icewind Dale, and Neverwinter Nights will all be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch starting this fall.

Skybound notes that physical editions of almost all of the games will land in stores on September 24 in the US and September 27 everywhere else. The exception will be Neverwinter Nights, which will arrive on December 3 in the States and December 6 in other regions.

The games will come in three separate bundles.

The Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition Pack will include Baldur’s Gate I & II, plus all the DLC including the Siege of Dragonspear expansion. It will also contain new original content created by Beamdog to bridge the gap between the two games.

Planescape: Torment / Icewind Dale Enhanced Editions bundle has both games and all of their DLC.

Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition has the game and all of its expansions, which is nothing to frown at since there were 10 stand-alone adventures.

All of the games will feature updated graphics with native high-resolution widescreen support. The controls have been optimized for console controllers. Beamdog has also added improved multiplayer support, more content, characters, classes, and voice sets to the games.

Each bundle will go for $49.99 for physical or digital editions. As mentioned, the games will start rolling out in September, but pre-orders have already begun.

Hmm may get Never Winter Nights

From the sounds of it, Icewind Dale and the Neverwinter Nights games both feature local co-op, so they're definite purchases for me!

I'm currently working through Divinity: Original Sin 1&2, which will probably take me a while, but definitely interested in at least Neverwinter Nights. Such a great game. I have it on PC, but I'd like to be able to play it vegging on my couch.

Hell yeah! I can't wait to play through Neverwinter Nights again!

Interesting, but before buying I will wait for the localizations. It was a pain in the *** to have it done in mobile platforms, and Beandog never bother to offer it in french (for example) .

For rpg games which are story focused, it can be a major turn-out for non english speaking peoples

I loved the games, I still do, but stop milking them and make new ones... or bring the most recent ones to console.

They will charge AAA price for 20 (BG 21) year old games and everyone just wants to throw money at them, you guys are what's wrong with gaming today, not the companies.
