#GOTHIC 1 REMAKE SERIES#

It’s still tagged with a vague “coming soon” on Steam, and will also release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S - when it’s ready. But as a public test, I think it served its purpose.ĭespite this latest promotional push, Gothic 1 Remake doesn’t have a release date. Gothic 1 Remake - Xbox Series X/S 59.99 Pre-order Price Guarantee Order now and if the price decreases between your order time and the end of the day of the release date, you'll receive the lowest price. As a first introduction, it arguably missed the mark. Rediscover the world of the mining colony, its secrets and challenges in this playable version of 2 hours. Features: Return to The Colony, a reimagination of the popular and revolutionary game Gothic from 2001. 'The fans are up for a new 'old' Gothic game and the vast majority (read: 94.8 per cent) was in favour to develop a remake of the iconic German RPG Gothic, originally released in 2001,' THQ Nordic. In December 2019, THQ Nordic released a Gothic Playable Teaser on Steam, which generated no shortage of fan feedback to take into consideration. What no one expects is that the arrival of an unknown prisoner will change absolutely everything. That’s a tricky balancing act for any revival, especially one with a cult following. Game developer Alkimia Interactive promises a “modernized combat system” for Gothic 1 Remake, though it hopes to retain an overall “faithful” vibe. Players will “manage the fate of a lifetime convicted prisoner who must survive in a world of wild animals, creatures, and convicts of dangerous reputation.”

Here’s a cinematic trailer to (re)introduce the mining colony and the Minecrawlers. The 2001 role-playing game is coming back on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, and whether you’re in or not will likely depend on your connection to the original back in the day - or maybe a fascination with of-their-time games returning with glossed-up remasters or remakes.

Partway through today’s THQ Nordic Digital Showcase, which is low-key giving me old silly Konami E3 vibes, we got an updated look at Gothic 1 Remake.
