Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition gets delayed

In a forum post today, Overhaul G♎ames announced that they have decided to push back the prospective launch date for Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition. The new release date is now set for later in 2012 on November 30.

"After recently reviewing the game and then consulting with our partners," the , "we've decided to ensure that Baldur's Gate: 📖Enhanced Edition is the best possible product on launch. Thus, we have pushed back the release date ꦍof the game. Our release date is now November 30th, 2012."

It's a pretty last-minute decision seeing as how the game was originally scheduled to release in just four days on September 18. Then again, some fans are speculating that it could be a strategic✨ decision to avoid launching in direct comp൲etition with Borderlands 2 and Torchlight 2. Which makes a certain amount of sense. There's no point in deliberately launching right in the same time frame as two games that compete for the same hardcore gamer mindshare.
