Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance Re-Issued for New Consoles

Interplay and Wizards of the Coast have announced that the PS2/original-Xbox-era action-RPG classic Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance is being re-released for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on May 7, 2021 – meaning tomorrow. It will be available on digital storefronts only for $29.99. Check out the announcement/launch trailer above. This is a re-release and not a remaster or remake, so outside of 4K support for Xbox Series X, PS5, Xbox One X, and PS4 Pro, there aren't a lot of new features. Two-player local cooperative play returns, of course. PC and mobile versions will be released later this year. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=baldurs-gate-dark-alliance-re-release-screenshots&captions=true"] Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance was originally released on December 2, 2001, for PS2 and Xbox. It was later ported to GameCube as well. IGN loved it at the time, giving it a 9.4 out of 10 in our review. The developer of Dark Alliance, Snowblind, went on to make an excellent Dark Alliance sequel as well as a fantastic PS2-exclusive EverQuest spinoff in the same vein called Champions of Norrath.
