Bombora Publishing House is preparing to release the book “Baldur’s Gate. A journey from the origins to RPG classics.” This is a detailed history of the formation of the Baldur’s Gate franchise, in which there was a place for board games. We tell you what the book is about and share an excerpt from it.

A year ago, James Ohlen announced that he was retiring. After twenty-two years at BioWare, where he was responsible for the design of Baldur’s Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire, Dragon Age and Mass Effect: Andromeda, he wanted to work on something small for himself for a couple of years. The pension did not last long.

After 22 years of work, James Ohlen left BioWare. He was the lead designer of both Baldur’s Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Knights of the Old Republic and Star Wars: The Old Republic. Olen also worked on the Dragon Age series, and now he has taken up board role-playing games.

The release of the mobile version of the role-playing classics is postponed again for some time, according to the developers of the remake from Overhaul Games.  

Following GTA and Baldur‘s Gate, the cult action movie Max Payne is going to come to mobile platforms.
