Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance was just announced for Switch yesterday with a planned release for today. Unfortunately, things haven’t gone according to plan.

Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance has been pushed back by at least “a few days”. The team seems to be unsure why the delay has happened, as Nintendo didn’t provide an explanation. The build and store page were both approved.

When we have a new release date for Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance on Switch, we’ll be sure to let you know.

Before Monolith Soft created Xenoblade, the developer worked on a number of other titles. Baten Kaitos was one brief RPG series the studio was known for. The original game as well as its prequel – Baten Kaitos Origins – were GameCube exclusives. This was back when Monolith Soft was with Bandai Namco.

The Baten Kaitos IP has been dormant since Origins released in 2006. There were some talks about a DS entry that never came to be, but that’s pretty much it.

It’s interesting then that new trademarks have surfaced in Europe. Baten Kaitos and Baten Kaitos Origins were both filed today. That doesn’t exactly mean that they’ll be rereleased or that Bandai Namco has any plans for the series, but we would certainly welcome HD remasters on Switch if that were to ever happen.
