RPGWatch reports that we may soon see an HD remake of Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny, courtesy of Attic, publisher UIG and the Austrian developer Crafty Games. Here's the press release:

A legend reborn as Realms of Arkania - Blade of Destiny returns
2013-01-28 10:47

Developed by Austrian developer Crafty Games, Realms of Arkania – Blade of Destiny is a one-to-one remake of the 1992 original, adored by a generation of Role Players and one of the most successful German RPG’s of the 1990’s. Get ready to return to Thorwal, one of the oldest cities of Aventurien. Make sure your wits are sharpened before walking down the small alleys of Thorwal and Prem, and prepare to stop the Orcisch threat while creating a mighty alliance between nations. Featuring a complete visual reimagining along with a comprehensive overhaul of every aspect of the gameplay, Realms of Arkania – Blade of Destiny is set to captivate a 21st century audience of new and old fans alike.​

Apparently they also intend to remake the other two games in the trilogy. I don't really care for remakes, but maybe it's a good thing provided it helps introduce RoA to the new generation of gamers - and doesn't butcher the original game in the process.

Also, the German press release can be found here, and here you can see the first work-in-progress screenshot of the remake.
