About Beamdog

We are Beamdog, a team of artists, designers, writers, and developers gathered in Edmonton, Canada to bring roleplaying games we love to modern audiences. Since 2009, we’ve brought enhanced versions of classic Dungeons & Dragons games and exciting original content to fans new and old. We’re best known for bringing beloved isometric roleplaying games like Baldur’s Gate™ and Planescape: Torment™ back to life on desktop and tablets as Enhanced Editions. We love rich stories where players can chose their own journey and the communities that spring up around them. If you’re excited about storytelling games, Dungeons & Dragons, and classic RPGs, stick around! You haven’t seen anything yet.

The Real-Life Story of Siege

When Beamdog made Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition, we brought the classic roleplaying game back to life in a modern way. We continued enhancing Infinity Engine games but we wanted to do more for the fans who loved these games as much as we did. We wanted to contribute an original expansion to the Bhaalspawn saga, designed and created in-house from the ground up. In 2014 we got the green light to begin work on the Siege of Dragonspear expansion to Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition.

The last year and a half has been filled with indescribable highs (like hearing Misc’s voice again!!) and some pretty harsh lows that we powered through. We used the lessons learned from producing the enhanced editions to design Siege of Dragonspear. Now it’s almost ready for release and we couldn’t be happier—or prouder—to send it out into the world. We hope that fans of the Bhaalspawn saga enjoy their return to the Sword Coast.

The In-Game Story of Siege

Though Sarevok is dead and his plan for war averted, peace eludes the citizens of Baldur's Gate. A crusade marches from the north, seizing supplies, forcing locals into military service, and disrupting trade along the Sword Coast. A charismatic warrior known as the Shining Lady leads this army, her background shrouded in mystery. Can the rumors be true—is she, like you, the child of a god?

The closer you get to the Shining Lady, the more you realize your father, the dead Lord of Murder still casts a long shadow upon your path. Baldur's Gate has put its faith in you, but you must determine whose interests you truly serve before you face the Shining Lady among the ruins of Dragonspear Castle.
