Baldur's Gate website teases series' return, space hamsters

has been updated with fresh graphics and a familiar epic tune, heralding the resurrection of BioWare's popular role-playing series. The site sports the series' trademark skull and a passage from the prophet Alaundo, stating, “The Lord of Murder shaꩲll perish, but in his doom he shall spawn a score of mortal progeny, chaos w💫ill be sown by their passage.”

The website source code reveals even more clues and Baldur's Gate references. It al🥀so hints that the game will be made using an updat𝓀ed version of the Infinity Engine, which was used to create the original back in 1998.

Collectively, the source code message currently rea▨ds:

, the game is coming from Beamdog, a digital distribution company founded by former BioWare designer Tim Oster, and the same studio responsible for the HD port of MDK 2. Though he would not confirm how and when Baldur's Gate would return, he did say his team is, “hoping to announce something so𒊎on.”
