Yes, as you read in the title, there is no new version, no sequel. The remastered version of Baldur's Gate will be an overhaul, and there's supposed to be people from the original game on board.
The new editions (BG 1 + expansion BG 2 + expansion), will work on an enhanced version of the infinity engine used in Throne of Bhaal. There aren't big modifications on the system: It will be based on 2nd edition D&D rules, 2d isometrical view, new voices, modding supported. Nothing too breath taking, except the fact that Trent Oster, head of this project and Bioware veteran, says that this will be a sort of test ground for the possibility of a BG 3; That's basically saying, ''Buy the game so we can negotiate the copyrights for a new version."
Not so sure what to make of all this. Let's see how everything turns out for this summer, the tentative release time for the enhanced versions.
Thanks to Niubie for the quick update.
