Beamdog, who recently released Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, has revealed that they've had to pull the game from the Apple App Store. The reason behind the move is down to contractual issues surrounding the game, and as a result development on the enhanced edition of Baldur's Gate II has been put on ice.

Speaking with RPS, Beamdog chief Trent Oster said: "The prognosis [for resuming work on Baldur's Gate] is mixed. Best case, we can sort this out soon. Worst case, this could be in legal hell for a while. I like making games, but this contractual dispute bullshit keeps me up at night."

There was hopes that the studio would eventually get around to starting work on Baldur's Gate III, but given recent events the chances of this ever happening took a knock.

"Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition is on indefinite hold, as is the current patch. Baldur's Gate III, we are still interested in the concept, but currently I'd say were very demoralized."

Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition pulled from Apple App Store.
