Baldur’s Gate Countdown by Beamdog, Adventure Y Reveal?

A new 12-day countdown has popped up over at the official Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition website. It’s supposed to expire in 11 days and 17 hours as of the time of this post, and there is no indication what it might be for, though I’d assume it’s for something more substantial than, for example, a simple patch.

Beamdog already used announcement countdowns twice in the past: the first time to announce the Enhanced Edition of Baldur’s Gate; the second to announce the Android release of Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition.

If you pointed a gun at my head and forced me to make an educated guess, I’d go ahead and argue that this countdown is probably meant to drum up some anticipation for the official announcement of “Adventure Y”, Beamdog’s first wholly original Baldur’s Gate content, meant to bridge the gap between Baldur’s Gate and its sequel. The original timeline for an announcement was “late Spring” too, so it seems like a pretty concrete possibility to me. Either way, we just have to wait a little less than 12 days to find out.
