Meanwhile, all the other titles will come out on September 24th, 2019 in North America and September 27th everywhere else, all of which will be priced at $50 a pop. Here are the finer details and the trailer for these Dungeons & Dragons games as we can't wait to see them.

• The Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition Pack: Celebrating the series' 20th anniversary, the original Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition and its sequel, Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition, return with all DLC and restored quest content, as well as the Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear expansion, featuring new original content developed by Beamdog to bridge the two games.
• Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition / Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition: Two must-play games and all their DLC in one package – the chilling Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition, plus its expansions, and the enhanced edition of 1999's RPG of the Year, Planescape: Torment.
• Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition: The 2002 Computer RPG of the Year and all its DLC deliver 10 standalone D&D-based adventures featuring co-op and online multiplayer.

"It's such a pleasure to celebrate the 20th anniversary of one of the most legendary RPGs of all time, the original Baldur's Gate, as well as the iconic games it inspired, by bringing these special enhanced editions to a new generation of players and platforms," said Skybound Games CEO Ian Howe.

"It's been nearly two decades since Baldur's Gate was born from a D&D campaign between me and the game's co-creators," said Trent Oster, Beamdog CEO. "The longevity of this series and the games that followed has been both humbling and rewarding. Our team is thrilled to continue that tradition by finally making this wealth of amazing storytelling and gameplay available to everyone on modern consoles."
