June 15 Livestream Recap

PAX West! Beamdog will be off to the west coast for a special announcement panel.

Beamdog CEO Trent Oster and Studio Director Phillip Daigle shared the latest news and updates on Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition and Infinity Engine patches. During the livestream Phil and Trent answered fan questions and did a tour around the Beamdog studio.

• The end of the 2.5 patch cycle for Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition, Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition, Siege of Dragonspear and Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition is in sight. Thanks a lot to all our amazing beta testers! We plan to release the 2.5 patch for Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition next week.
• We’ll push one additional update to Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition, which will introduce a new feature (fully toggleable). Phil promises that it’ll make casting a spell like Fireball, and not hitting your party, a lot easier.
• The work on character model improvements for Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition is progressing, so stay tuned!
• If you’re interested in Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition Collector’s Edition, share your thoughts on our forum, and let us know what would you like to see in it.
