The Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition was only announced last week, but publisher Beamdog is already putting its cards on the table – it really wants to make a Baldur’s Gate 3, thank you very much.

“Baldur’s Gate 3 has been our long term goal,” said Beamdog COO Cameron Tofer in an interview with GameSpy.

Even though that’s the goal, Beamdog certainly isn’t starting work on the project just yet. “We have a lot of things to put in place before such a project can be launched. So currently there is no such project but that’s the one we want to do. Our thoughts have been that Enhanced Edition for BG 1 and 2 just make sense before there’s any Baldur’s Gate 3.”

Tofer also mentioned that he’s thinking of using crowdsourcing solution Kickstarter to fund the potential project, which recently afforded huge piles of cash monies to both Brian Fargo and Tim Schafer.

“We’re totally thinking Kickstarter,” said Tofer. “It just makes so much sense and solves so many problems. I think what Brian [Fargo] is doing with Wasteland is very interesting.”

The Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition is due out this summer.
