Interplay maintains BG and IwD franchises

Yahoo Finance! has published a press release from Interplay in which the latter announces its ability to maintain the Baldur's Gate, and Icewind Dale franchises.
One thing I found interesting is that the press release is talking about "sequels to the multi-million unit selling Baldur's Gate(TM) franchise."
The series was supposed to be concluded with Throne of Bhaal, the expansion pack for Baldur's Gate 2, released last year.

Here's a snip:

    The multi-year, multi-product license allows Black Isle Studios, the roleplaying division of Interplay, to deliver high quality PC and console games to D&D fans worldwide.

    Dungeons & Dragons games currently in development include Icewind Dale(TM) II for the PC, Baldur's Gate(TM): Dark Alliance(TM) for the Xbox(TM) video game system from Microsoft and sequels to the multi-million unit selling Baldur's Gate(TM) franchise.

    ``We are very excited about our strong Dungeons & Dragons product lineup,'' said Herve Caen, president and CEO of Interplay Entertainment.

    ``As the computer roleplaying game franchise that revitalized the computer RPG genre, Baldur's Gate is firmly established as one of the leading brands in the interactive entertainment industry worldwide. We are thrilled to be developing new additions to this critically and commercially successful franchise.''
