Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition removed from App Store, sequel put on hold

Following contractual issues, Beamdog has removed Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition from its official website and Apple App Store, studio president Trent Oster confirmed today.

The title won't receive any upcoming patches, he wrote in a statement on the game's official website. The Android version has also been put on hold, along with the previously announced enhanced edition of Baldur's Gate 2.

"We recently removed Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition from sale on Beamdog and the Apple App Store," he wrote. "We've taken this step at our publishing partner's request as we attempt to resolve a number of contractual issues.

"Unfortunately, until this matter is resolved, we are unable to release the latest Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition patch or Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition for Android."

Those who previously purchased Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition will still be able to download and play the game, however.

According to Oster, Beamdog is currently working to "remedy the situation." We have contacted the studio for comment regarding its contractual issues and will update the story when further information is made available.
