BLACK
ISLE STUDIOS ANNOUNCES BALDUR’S GATE II:
THRONE OF BHAAL
(Vast new
expansion product completes the epic saga of
Baldur’s Gate)
Black Isle
Studios, the role-playing game division of
Interplay Entertainment Corp. (NASDAQ: IPLY), and
BioWare Corp. announced today plans to develop an
expansion product to the award-winning
role-playing game Baldur’s Gate' II: Shadows
of Amn.
Entitled
Baldur’s Gate II: Throne of Bhaal, the
add-on product expands and enriches the gameplay
experience by adding several new locations,
high-level spells and powerful new characters to
the Baldur’s Gate game. Set in the Forgotten
Realms campaign world of the Dungeons &
Dragons game, Throne of Bhaal is the ultimate
conclusion of the Baldur’s Gate legend as
gamers fulfill their destiny as the child of
Bhaal.
Developed by
BioWare and published by Black Isle Studios, the
Baldur’s Gate franchise -- consisting of
Baldur’s Gate, its Tales of the Sword Coast
expansion and Baldur’s Gate II -- redefined
the role-playing genre and has since dominated
the PC game charts with sales of over 3.5 million
units worldwide. The franchise continues to
receive accolades from press and pundits around
the world.
Baldur’s
Gate II: Throne of Bhaal takes players through an
all-new storyline rich with intrigue and
treachery as they unravel the mysteries of the
Dungeon of Watcher’s Keep and explore other
new areas such as the City of Saradush, the
Fortified Monastery of Amkethran, Sendai’s
Underdark Fortress and the player’s own
Abyssal Stronghold. Throughout their journey,
characters may reach up to level 40, made
possible with a raised experience cap of 8
million points, quite possibly the highest level
ever achieved by characters in any Advanced
Dungeons & Dragons computer game.
Also included in
the quest are over 40 new powerful high-level
spells and abilities. The Wild Mage Character Kit
will also be included to the already extensive
class list allowing gamers to create a powerful
new character able to cast spells with very
unpredictable results. Baldur’s Gate II
players will be pleased to hear that Throne of
Bhaal is fully playable either while questing
through their BG II adventure or after they have
completed BG II.
Baldur’s
Gate II: Throne of Bhaal is due to ship summer
2001 for Windows® 95/98 and gamers will need to
own the original Baldur’s Gate II: Shadows
of Amn in order to play. Black Isle Studios
recently launched Icewind Dale™: Heart of
Winter, the expansion product to the classic
dungeon crawl using the BioWare Infinity Engine
and the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons® Second
Edition rules under license from Wizards of the
Coast, including new monsters, spells, and areas
to explore within the Forgotten Realms campaign
setting.
