If you woke up this morning, remembered that Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition, and Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition are all available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch now, and THEN thought, "oh boy! A chance to play those with friends!" we have some unfortunate but also vitally important news. The console versions of those games are single-player only.
UPDATE: The Enhanced Editions of Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate 2, and Icewind Dale do not support co-op or any multiplayer at this time. They are single-player games only. We have removed the console versions from our database. The original news post is below.

It's expansion time! And when we say "expansion", boy do we mean "expansion". Beamdog recently announced a nice little update to Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition titled Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear. And by "little", we mean an all-new adventure with 25 hours of gameplay, complete with co-op!
Ah, the CRPG. Shall I compare thee to a well-worn keyboard? My darling, some love you and your faux-Medieval settings and find the freedom you offer liberating to their real-world sensibilities. Others find you trite, overwhelming, and tire of your "Oh look, another mad wizard" cliches. Nevertheless, you persevere. Through the gaming industry crash, through the rise of the JRPG, you soldier on, offering D&D styled combat to those who crave its tender grasp.
Sometimes as gamers we forget the legal battles developers have to go through to get titles made, Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition being one of them. Today, the game was officially withdrawn from retail outlets due to “contractual issues” coming into play.
Mac owners, pay attention! Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition is set to arrive on Mac OS X February 22! Having enjoyed a warm reception on Windows and iPad platforms (both of which had significant delays), the updated RPG adds a host of new features to the classic release, which is still the favorite role playing game of many a gamer despite being released over 15 years ago.
Oh, Baldur's Gate. If you've been serious at all about RPGS on the PC over the past 15 years, you've probably at least heard of this classic RPG that set Bioware on its way to becoming a household name. In our review we'll both address what's new in the Enhanced Edition as well as the general gameplay for newcomers to the game.
I received my review copy for Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition Thanksgiving weekend. I was a little sad when I found out that currently the game only supports TCP/IP co-op, mostly because it meant I couldn't try out the co-op until release (I didn't know anyone else that had an early review copy). November 28th rolled around, which meant I could try the co-op... theoretically. Unfortunately, that was not to be, as my press copy was not the same version as the released copy! This took me a few frustrating days to find out (my own fault) as I attempted many work-arounds that didn't work (how could they have, considering the root problem?)
Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition will be hitting iOS and PC tomorrow, bringing with it a version of Baldur's Gate that has gotten a ton of polish and even some new content. The game was delayed a few months to polish up some of its own issues, which is a good thing, but it's finally time to unleash the game on a new generation of gamers.
Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, the updated version of the classic RPG, has been delayed until November. The game was originally slated to be released this coming week, but an official post on the forums cites a team decision to hold off the game's ship date so the team can polish the game a bit more.
This September 18th, Windows owners will get their hands on Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, an update to the classic RPG created by Bioware. The enhanced edition is not just a quick port, but a huge upgrade on the original game which includes the Tales of the Sword Coast expansion pack as well as a new 6 hour campaign called The Black Pits. Also included are new characters, an enhanced interface, widescreen support, and brand new fully animated cinematic sequences.
