A team of modders is remaking the original Baldur's Gate using the Baldur's Gate 3 engine following the success of a "simple test" of the 2023 RPG's modding tools.
Project lead 786r786 tells Rock Paper Shotgun the idea for a Baldur's Gate remake sprouted when an unlocked version of Baldur's Gate 3's official modding tools showed up on NexusMods in September 2024. 786r786 never intended on remaking the whole game, but they wanted to test the limits of the unlocked toolkit and went forward with creating the Baldur's Gate starting location, Candlekeep, in Baldur's Gate 3.
