Are you thinking about the new MMORPG Titled Neverwinter?? It's the third installment by Atari following Neverwinter Nights 1 & 2 and their respective expansions. It's expected to be released sometime in early 2013.

Or are you thinking Baldur's Gate, which is getting a remake. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldur's_Gate:_Enhanced_Edition)

Sorry, but you're wrong. It's developed by an ex-Atari studio, Cryptic Studios (also responsible for the now-F2P Champions Online and Star Trek Online), which is currently owned by Perfect World Entertainment (http://www.perfectworld.com/) (also publisher for Torchlight 1 & 2 and Blacklight: Retribution). They left Atari a year and a half ago, at least.

For those who are into either Champions or Star Trek Online, the new Neverwinter uses a new derivative of the same engine and the development teams from each (though separate) do try to adapt significant code changes developed for the other games to theirs. Notably, STO has been receiving new Foundry (http://nw.perfectworld.com/about/foundry) tech (user-created content system, for developing new missions) from Neverwinter... STO had the Foundry for a while now, but it seems to me that due to trying to draw in the D&D crowd (it does have the D&D name and license, after all) it will be a more significant part of the game experience.

"Shrugs" My mistake, I knew that Cryptic Studios was involved but not that they were no longer owned by Atari. When I looked up the information for the OP, I found a site of when it was announced by both Atari and Cryptic. I didn't figure that that had changed.
