One of the most popular RPGs of all time, Baldur's Gate II, will be coming to the App Store as an Enhanced Edition later this month. The news of the game's imminent release was
announced in a tweet by Trent Oster, the creative director of the previous Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition.
So far, Baldur's Gate on iOS has had a contentious existence. When the first edition was released for iOS, the game was
pulled from the App Store in June for legal issues. It took two months for the game to finally return. There are no signs that any such legal issues will arise this time for Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition, which is good news since the sequel is regarded by critics and users as being far superior to the original.
As for what you can expect from Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition:
<p>The Final Chapter - Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition includes Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal, the epic conclusion of the Bhaalspawn saga.

Oster notes that Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition was submitted to Apple on December 8. There's no set release date for the game, which means it will likely go live as soon as Apple approves it. Most apps are generally approved within two weeks, so it looks like fans could be playing this classic by Christmas Eve.<p style="padding:5px;clear:both;">
