Wizards of the Coast is reportedly working on a remake of Baldur's Gate 2, according to PC Gamer.
The report claims former BioWare developer and Baldur's Gate 2 co-lead designer Kevin Martens is returning to work on the project. He was also a lead designer on Jade Empire and Throne of Bhaal, and also worked on Mass Effect, Neverwinter Nights, and Diablo 3.
A source familiar with the project does claim Martens is already working on the Baldur's Gate 2 remake.
The report focuses on a remake of Baldur's Gate 2, however, it does state a remake of the original Baldur's Gate is "likely."
Remastered Enhanced Edition versions of the first two Baldur's Gate games are currently available on consoles and PC.

It definitely shouldn't be only 2. 2 was built around the idea that it was a continuation of your same campaign from 1. the save importing plays a huge role even compared to other games that do the same thing.
Hope not, it does not need one. But hey, this generation loves to keep remaking stuff.
I'm open to the idea as long as Beamdog has nothing to do with it. I'm not necessarily particularly interested, but open.
Rather they just invest in new games. We have enhanced editions already but off the back of BG3, WotC should be investing in just new games... of course, I guess it does save time and money on having to come up with a new plot.
