Play Baldur's Gate on your iPad this summer

Everyone squawked and wailed when Beamdog hyped their new Baldur's Gate project with cryptic comment lines and tantalizing tweets. After much to-do, Beamdog and developer Overhaul Games have finally spilled details on their Baldur's Gate revamp, coming this summer to an iOS device near you.

[OMG] Is the Baldur's Gate series getting an HD reboot?

Strange rumblings out of the PCRPG realms today...


Kotaku reported that after 11 years of inactivity, the official Baldur's Gate series site has creaked and moaned back to life. It now sports a cryptic message:

"The Lord of Murder shall perish, but in his doom he shall spawn a score of mortal progeny, chaos will be sown by their passage.

So sayeth the wise Alaundo" 

Trent Oster, former BioWare developer and founder of Beamdog has accepted responsibility for this shameless fanboy-pandering. The line is an obvious reference to the BGII expansion pack, "Throne of Bhaal." What's even more curious is the hidden message inside the source code of the BG site. 

Hit the jump to read what it says and engage the Speculatron-9000.
