Only the barest of bones details are available, but apparently they're already out of planning and in development. Given that 98% of modern studios are completely infected with blue-hair psychopathy and WotC did a running backflip over the shark a decade ago, I am not optimistic.

We can only pray that they update the graphics, UI, and possibly the rules system while leaving the narrative alone. BG 2 is in the Iso-RPG Hall of Fame and arguably the best RPG ever made.

I mean if it’s WotC doing it, or having the final say, or anything like that, it’s going to be absolute garbage.

This will be a disaster and they will shove gay shit in it because that is all BioWare is good for now.

The BioWare of old doesn't exist anymore. You can't really want them involved after Anthem and Dragon Age: Veilguard.
Probably don't want anyone doing any of this if they can't let Larian do it. And give them total creative control.

I'm still baffled by the BG1 update character ranting about how hard it is to be transgender when the game had a gender swap belt literally drop two screens south of it at level one.

End of the day it comes down to

1) What dev house handles this?
2) Is it the same game with better graphics, or do they “update for a modern audience”, which is the mother of loaded statements since it goes anywhere from “this old mechanic sucks, let’s give it some modern polish” to “we are rewriting half the dialogue”

From playing BG1, 2 and now 3. I've learned that basically Fearun is a sexually confused and horny realm. I think Larian had a patch early on to tone it down some. Not a big fan of it but whatever at this point. Transgenders, homosexuals, beastiality. It's everywhere. Seems like someone would make a potion or spell to straighten that shit out.

With great power comes great hormonal imbalance.
