I sure hope so, especially considering the original trilogy came out on Apple computers. Many of us have played the game on Apple II computers, so a Mac compatible version SHOULD be available, IMO.

Seconded. Or, thirded. Whatever, I am looking forward to playing this again for the first time in . . . it's been over 30 years!

I've been holding off buying until a Mac version becomes available. Has someone already answered an ETA on this?

Surely we're just a few of many, right?

You didn't however, play the trilogy on the Mac--since only the first, and maybe BT2 was shipped for the Mac. Trilogy (all three games) only shipped for PC and Amiga, IIRC.

But anyway, welcome to 2019...;) FYI, the BT3 is not yet ready for the PC--and hasn't shipped yet. Most likely, the OS X versions will not be ported until after the x86 PC version of all three are shipped and finalized.

I would be great to get an update on this, as well as Bard's Tale 4 on Mac, which was always part of the plan. Maybe they're hoping to patch the game to perfection then port it?

FYI, all of the original trilogy came out on Apple II (though I personally played them all on C64). From Wikipedia:

Bard's Tale 1:
Apple II
Amiga
Commodore 64
Apple IIGS
Atari ST
MS-DOS
Amstrad CPC
Macintosh
ZX Spectrum
NEC PC-9801
NES

Bard's Tale 2:
1986 (C64)
1987 (Apple II)
1988 (Amiga, Apple IIGS, DOS)
1991 (PC-98)
1992 (Famicom)

Bard's Tale 3:
1988 (Apple II, C64)
1990 (DOS)
1991 (Amiga)
1992 (PC-98)

I don't know what the plans are for the remasters on Mac, but the Mac version of BT4 is arriving in June.

Macos10: Anybody know if a Mac version will be forthcoming ?
Just found a forum that referred to this paragraph on a kickstarter report back on June 7, 2019:

"The Bard’s Tale Trilogy Update

We also have some news regarding The Bard’s Tale Trilogy for Mac gamers. Since launch, we’ve seen that Linux users have been able to play the game with minimal fuss, using methods like Steam’s Proton service. On the other hand, Mac users have not been able to play the game, so we are pleased to announce that we have made the additional investment to develop a Mac version. Krome is currently working on some additional updates for The Bard’s Tale Trilogy, and will begin work on the Mac version later this summer. All of you, Windows, Mac, and Linux, will be getting these additional Bard’s Tale Trilogy enhancement updates free of charge. "

So it sounds that the Trilogy will be made for Mac. ^_^

Just to update a little more, Krome is just beginning the process of working on the Mac version, so it'll be a little bit but it is now being worked on.

Any update on the Mac version? Do we have an ETA yet? Thank you.

No timeline update yet. Spoke with Krome about it last night and there's some new stuff with Mac that they need to investigate how to deal with/incorporate. Work has been coming along though, and the reason we talked about it last night is that we're hoping to provide a release window in the near future. Trying to get our ducks in a row for that.

Thank you for the hard work, and we'll be ready for your release.

So the Mac version is out on Steam and it's currently discounted. When do we get that over here on GOG?
