A third instalment in the Baldur's Gate series is tipped to be in development, without original creator BioWare.
Although it won't be ready for at least another year, we've heard the RPG sequel is coming along at an as-yet-unnamed developer and Neverwinter Nights 2 house Atari - which recently released a series compilation on PC-DVD - is said to be handling the publishing duties.
The acclaimed RPG series hasn't seen a proper release since 2001's Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal, and has been the subject of constant rumour and speculation since.
A third game was even said to be in development at on-off Baldur's expansion dev Black Isle Studios, which has now been closed.
Original members of Black Isle have since founded Obsidian Entertainment, which helmed a sequel to BioWare's Neverwinter Nights.
Obsidian is a possibility then but the developer behind the third Baldur's Gate is still a mystery to us, although we've heard it's a studio more than capable of making a fantastic looking production. Speculate away.
When contacted Atari said it had no comment to make except that Baldur's Gate is "one of the properties Atari has rights to".
