Beamdog boss Trent Oster has revealed that the Enhanced Edition of Icewind Dale will be released on October 30th. Furthermore, Oster confirmed that the game will be available for sale on Beamdog’s own platform, as well as GOG and Steam, for PC and Linux.
Icewind Dale has been enhanced with new kits and character classes, dozens of new items and spells, and restored quest material cut from the original game. The redesigned user interface features Zoom capabilities and a Quickloot Bar, among numerous other improvements.
