Interplay sends a word along stating that the new release date for
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2 is now Q1 2004. In an obvious attempt to make it easier for us to accept the delay, they've released a bunch of new screenshots (
PS2 and
Xbox) and 5 gameplay movies featuring all 5 playable characters (which we've packed into one zip for our convenience) from this upcoming action/RPG sequel in the works at
Black Isle Studios. The game will be available in retail in Q1 2004 for the PS2 and Xbox.
