A 4K re-release of Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance releases tomorrow
Fans of hack-and-slash action RPGs are in for a treat. The original Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance is receiving a 4K re-release on modern consoles, courtesy of Interplay, almost 20 years after its original release.
According to the newly released trailer, Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance will be releasing this Friday, May 7, for the Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S, PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch, with a PC and mobile release coming later this year. It will be available for $30.
Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance was received well when it first released on the PlayStation 2 and original Xbox in 2001. It spawned a sequel, Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance 2, and its engine was used in the exclusive PS2 EverQuest spinoff, Champions of Norrath. It’s a classic RPG that should fit in well with the rest of the excellent RPGs available on Xbox and should hold Diablo fans over until Diablo 2 Resurrected releases later this year.
It also spawned the spiritual successor, Dungeons and Dragons: Dark Alliance, set to launch this summer. The new game, developed by Tuque Games, switches the perspective to a third-person over-the-shoulder viewpoint that has more in common with Gears of War than Diablo.

The media remotes to get for your new Xbox Series X or Series S
The new Xbox Series X and Series S aren’t quite the home entertainment giants their predecessor was, but they’re still very good with access to all the top digital streaming media services. And that means you’re going to be doing more than just gaming, and for that you need a good remote. It’s a better way to go than a controller for sure.
