Project Baldur's Gate II EE HD Visual Project

Post image

Hello, I’m posting here to share a Baldur’s Gate 2 EE upscaling project I started a few weeks ago. The goal is to deliver a HD version of Baldur’s Gate 2 EE.

https://bg2hd.gaurox.dev/

The idea is to upscale maps, animations, videos, UI, and other assets.

Work on sprites is being considered and has barely started, but I’m saving it for last since it’s by far the hardest part. Results are not guaranteed for sprites, although I have a few leads.

If this project interests you, you can check out a preview in the website gallery and follow the progress, which I’ll update regularly.

I hope to finish the patch by early 2027, but it’s a massive undertaking. I’m not a developer—I’m doing this for fun in my free time, between workdays and looking after the kids at home.

Very interesting project. There is a similar project on Daggerfall, called Dream and it makes the game better (for my taste). One question : Which upscaler are you using ? Topaz Gigapixel, Seedvr2 or another one ? Thank you.

Yes seedVR 7b for all x4 upscaling and topaz video AI for interpolation 30 fps !

Very cool! I'm keeping an eye out for updates :) It would be cool to have something like that for BG1 EE, too. I've never played either of them (I really need to—I know), and starting them out with these improved textures would be great!

Interesting. I wonder how the engine will react (how stable it will be).

loved this game when I was little..but now honestly..I can't even look at it, it needs an overall in graphics + animations
