How long should a developer leave a game before dropping an enhanced edition? It's a difficult question. The original Baldur's Gate released in 1998 (a lot of people forget BG3 has two predecessors), with Beamdog's enhanced edition landing in 2012. The spruced up version of Neverwinter Nights arrived in 2018, 16 years after its inspiration, with Aspyr Media's enhanced version of its sequel dropping in July of this year, 19 years later. In each of these cases, there's a decent chunk of time between the original and its touched up version, but this is 2025, and weird things are happening. Echoes of the End, which released on August 12 of this year, is getting an enhanced edition, and given it sits at only 425 lifetime reviews, that's somewhat surprising.
