This afternoon word reached the OXM team that Atari are in the initial stages of bringing the critically acclaimed Baldur's Gate franchise to Xbox 360!
And although nothing more than rumour at this stage, albeit from Atari insiders, there are some intriguing snippets of info that back up these initial whispers.
Last seen on the Xbox under the stewardship of the now defunct Acclaim, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II was then developed by Black Isle Studios. Since then, a number of employees from Black Isle have jumped ship to Obsidian Entertainment - the very same developers that have just finished work on Atari's Neverwinter Nights 2.
Could Baldur's Gate 3 be their next project?

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing.

However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
To celebrate Tomb Raider: Legend's 20th anniversary, the official channels have shared an early in-development gameplay demo.
