Nostalgia is in full swing in the RPG space these days. From new forays into Wasteland, to Pillars of Eternity, and the Torment: Tides of Numenera homage, new isometric RPGs have been keeping fans busy, reminding them of the old days when the genre was full of choices for adventure and loot. Beamdog has contributed to that in its own way with Enhanced Editions of Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate II and Icewind Dale. Now, it has announced PlaneScape: Torment Enhanced Edition coming on April 11.

Chris Avellone, the mastermind behind the original game in 1999 as lead designer, will help Beamdog make sure the game stays true to its original form. "Beamdog has worked hard to ensure the feel and tone of the Enhanced Edition matches the original game, " he said in a release announcing the game.. "At the same time, they've also taken advantage of current generation technology to allow for improvements to the interface and feel--it's the best way to play Planescape: Torment, hands-down."

In its previous remasters, Beamdog has added new content and new characters, but don't expect that this time around. "We deliberately didn’t add any kits, classes, races, spells or items from Baldur’s Gate or Icewind Dale to Planescape: Torment — Enhanced Edition. We felt that doing so would distort the unique atmosphere of the original game,” a Beamdog spokesperson told VentureBeat.

So the game will stay true to the form that made it one of the best RPGs of all time. “We made a conscious decision not to tamper with the original writing,” the spokesperson said. "For the few instances where new writing was needed — i.e., for a couple of additional journal entries, special ability descriptions and the Steam Achievements — Chris Avellone wrote the text personally. In addition, Chris requested to do an editorial pass of all the text in the game, and we happily obliged.”

The remastered edition will be available on Steam for $19.99 when it launches. and will also be available on Mac and Linux. iPad and Android tablet versions will run $9.99.
