With the Enhanced Edition comes a number of new features, as Beamdog stated that the Overhaul team had added several hundred improvements to the original game. and features both single player and multiplayer modes, while much of the gameplay, such as moving between locations, the 'paper doll' equipment system, and inventory management, remains the same as the original game.

Much like the original game, Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition follows the rules of the 2nd Edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, licensed by Wizards of the Coast. On March 31, 2016, an expansion was released for the remake entitled Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear, which focuses on the events following the conclusion of Baldur's Gate, that lead up to Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn.

The remake combines the original game, Baldur's Gate, with its expansion Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast, retaining all of the original elements from both (story, in-game locations, gameplay and characters), while including new additions, a new separate arena adventure entitled The Black Pits, and a number of improvements to the game, some of which were imported from Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn. It was released for Microsoft Windows on November 28, 2012, with additional releases between December 2012 and November 2014, for iPad, OS X, Android and Linux. Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition is a remake of the role-playing video game Baldur's Gate, developed by Overhaul Games, a division of Beamdog, and published by Atari.
