(BTW, the assets for Baldur's Gate 1 were lost, which why Baldur's Gate EE was made instead of Baldur's Gate HD. Damn shame.)


Well, the 3D models were lost so they couldn't re-render them at higher fidelity. Clearly the artwork and sound effects in general weren't, though.

I agree that they could just emulate the old style with new assets.

Yeah, they'd have to buy the old assets from whichever company owns them. And audio quality & graphical quality has changed so much in 20 years, that doing so would be a waste of money.
