Speaking to VideoGamer.com lead designer Brent Knowles confirmed that the spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate will come out on the Xbox 360 and the PS3 after the PC version, slated for an early 2009 release, but he couldn't confirm exactly how long after.
"We're smart," he told VideoGamer.com. "We think about these things a lot and we know that the console market is an important market as well. And it just makes sense. There's not a lot of RPGs like this available for console players. There's a lot of people that the console is their primary gaming platform, they aren't playing on PC. The reaction to Mass Effect for example, was huge, it was phenomenal. We know there's an audience out there for this Western style RPG and we want to make sure we deliver to them a good, strong fantasy RPG. They're going to have a lot of fun with it. We've kept consoles in mind throughout the development cycle so I think we're going to have a really strong offering to the console players."
