Just realized the project is Brazilian.
This is huge, I really hope WoTC or Bioware support this.
The project has been going a long time; they went through the legal requirements to release many years ago. If you have the BG series of games ( for voice/sound assets), as well as NWN2 and both expansions, you can download and play BG/TOSC in the NWN2 engine from

If this is something that interests you, another modder also produced IWD for the NWN2 engine, which you can also find on the NexusMods web site
https://www.nexusmods.com/neverwinter2/mods/31There were a number of other interesting "big" game mod projects that didn't work out...
There was an attempt to re-make BG2 in the Dragonage:Origins toolkit called "Baldurs Gate Redux"; unfortunately, they forgot to ensure that the engine was actually capable of doing what they wanted, and legally allowed to use BG sound assets, so the project folded. The 3D assets and art may still be lurking on modding web sites somewhere. This video gives you an idea of how it would have looked
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhL8iKN3rVA.There was also an intent to produce an ambitious and interesting trilogy of games in the Planescape world ( NWN2 engine again ), from a group that called themselves "Rogue Dao Studios". They also underestimated how much effort is required to actually get from concept to reality
The project folded, but I believe the project lead, Monty Markland, went on to work for Obsidian Studios. They did release some demonstrator versions, if you fancy wasting a few hours wandering round their concept. Be warned if you choose to look at this, it is definitely NOT a finished game; some places there is content, others there is nothing but a map. Some places you can enter, but not exit, and have to start over!
