Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2 Getting Ported to New Consoles
The original Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance is a classic of the hack-and-slash genre, though it remained trapped on the sixth generation consoles for the longest time. But in a surprise move, Black Isle Studios re-released Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance for modern consoles last year, adding support for 4K resolution and modern features like achievements without quite going as far as fully remastering the game. After the re-release of Dark Alliance, the next question was when the sequel would arrive, and now it's been confirmed that Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2 is indeed getting a re-release.
It's been announced by Black Isle Studios that Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2 is coming to PC and modern consoles later this year. A specific release date for the port has not been announced at the time of this writing, and while specific consoles haven't been revealed either, it's a safe bet that the game will be coming to the platforms that the original released on. This means that fans should be able to play the new game across PlayStation, Switch, and Xbox consoles.

As far as the likely Switch port goes, it will be interesting to see if it comes later than the PlayStation and Xbox versions of the game. As some may recall, the Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance Switch port had some unexpected last minute issues that forced Black Isle Studios to delay its release. It didn't take all that long for the Switch port to come out, but it was still an understandably frustrating situation for Nintendo fans who were looking forward to replaying Dark Alliance.
As for when fans can expect to play Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2 on newer consoles, that remains to be seen.
