In a reveal from IGN today, it has been announced that 2001's Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance is getting a re-release for Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S as soon as tomorrow, May 7th!
According to IGN, the game will be available on digital storefronts for $29.99, and it's not a remaster or a remake, so this is very much a re-release with 4K support. You can check out the launch trailer above.
Previously, developer Black Isle Studios had been teasing this project for the past couple of months, posting small widescreen snippets of the game. Earlier today, the title was uploaded to the PlayStation Store as well.

They really want 30$ for this? Pretty sure its a price to gain some money from more dedicated fans because pretty soon it will be on constant sale for 5$
Wow that is awesome. Loved that game on Gamecube. I’m actually excited
Edit: Oh it is literally a re-release and not updated at all. Still cool though! Must have achievements too.
The lack of model / texture upgrades is disappointing but I'll probably pick it up sometime during a sale, the local co-op in this game is a lot of fun. I wonder if they'll release the sequel, the two EverQuest games, and the Fallout game that used the same engine as well (and also had great local co-op).
So another Diablo clone.
Will wait till it hits 20 , 30 is too much for what it is
I remember back in the day that magazines were BLOWN AWAY by the water fx here. They couldn't shut up about 'em, lol. How far we've come, eh? I never played this (only Gauntlet Legends and Hunter: The Reckoning ever looked interesting or exciting to me in the "topdown hack-and-slasher" genre), but man, these environments really look bland and drab... except for that water, I suppose. The ripple effects are still quality. Those magazines really should've noticed... the everything else when talking up the game's presentation. Oh well, apparently this one's fun, so for people with fond memories of this or who are curious to check it out for the first time, it's always good to see older games get remasters and brought to the current gen.
I will say it's pretty crafty of Interplay to drop this the same month Wizards of the Coast and Tuque are going to put out their new (much more exciting looking) Dark Alliance. Drop it while people are hearing the name again, and piggy-backing off of someone else's marketing campaign while barely having to market anything yourself, basically. Sneaky!
$30 damn! The nostalgia must be strong with this one.
OMG, Interplay and Black Isle still EXIST? Somebody did let them know that everyone that actually made the company up is at Microsoft now, right?
Just buy them already, Microsoft, and merge it all up with inExile and Obsidian already. It's about darned time the whole team was united again. And there's nobody at the so called Interplay/Black Isle that actually had anything to do with anything made by Interplay or Black Isle.
Colour me unimpressed.
I'll stick with my OG Xbox disc.
I'm enjoying the hell out of this game again. $30 is a little steep, but to be able to play it on XBSX in widescreen and at 60 fps is awesome! Now I don't have to drag out my PS2 when I want to play Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance.
