Step into the role of the Nameless Hero, a prisoner thrown into the Valley of Mines: a ruthless penal colony surrounded by a magical barrier. Inside, prisoners rule themselves. Three rival camps fight for power, alliances shift constantly, and survival depends entirely on how well you adapt to this unforgiving world.
Originally released in 2001, Gothic earned its legendary status through its immersive world-building, reactive NPC behavior and ecosystem, challenging progression, and unmatched sense of player freedom. Gothic 1 Remake preserves these core pillars while modernizing the experience for a new generation of players. Will you earn your place in the Old Camp, join the rebels of the New Camp, or follow the strange beliefs of the Swamp Camp?
But keep in mind, that Gothic has always been a game that refuses to hold the player’s hand. There are no glowing trails leading you through the world. No enemies magically scaling to your level. Nothing stopping you from wandering somewhere dangerous far too early. If a creature looks terrifying, that probably means it can kill you.
Well... welcome back to the Valley of Mines.
Gothic 1 Remake is being developed by Alkimia Interactive and published by THQ Nordic. The game is available now for PC, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Essen, Germany / Vienna, Austria - January 11th, 2022: Essen, Germany / Vienna, Austria - January 11th, 2022: The invasion has begun! An enemy force has landed on Magalan, bringing death and destruction to the planet and all its inhabitants. There’s only one way to stop them; fight them with everything you’ve got. Let fire rain on them, shoot them with guns, bows, rockets or laser weapons. Hack, slash and smite them with your sword, axe or chainsaw - whatever weapon suits you best. ELEX II lets you choose how to fight using melee, magic or ranged combat, or a combination of all three. You can learn every skill and you can master every weapon - it's all up to you.

Essen, Germany / Vienna, Austria - June 15th, 2021: Probably the best-kept secret is finally getting revealed: The next Piranha Bytes Game is indeed ELEX II. Surprise!
The planet Magalan has seen some rather peaceful years after the Events of ELEX I: old factions have been vanquished, new factions have risen. The Berserkers’ attempts to regrow and terraform the lands have started to bear fruit. After the defeat of the Hybrid, the Albs are no longer a threat. However, our hero - Jax - returns with knowledge of a new menace that’s casting a shadow over Magalan. It falls to Jax to unite these different factions together to face this darkness together.

Is it a Gothic Remake? Not yet, but it can become one: THQ Nordic releases playable prototype on Steam, asks for the player's opinion
Barcelona, Spain / Vienna, Austria, December 13th, 2019: „Welcome to the colony!“ – how is it possible that 18 years have passed since we first heard that phrase at the beginning of Gothic, the game that set a milestone in the history of German fantasy RPGs, such as Risen and Elex? Since then, we all have grown older, acquired some wrinkles, and are laughing at how we look in pictures from the early 2000s – or how games looked back then.

But, what if we could turn back time, take everything that was great almost 20 years ago, and put it in a beautiful modern look (let’s say powered by Unreal Engine 4) along with improving some things that were not that great, like the combat system, for example?
Here’s the Trailer for the Gothic Playable Teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuuUaHa3_sg

To find out what the true Gothic fanbase thinks of a modern remake of the cult classic RPG, THQ Nordic and its new Spanish development team, THQ Nordic Barcelona, will start an experiment. Today, a free playable prototype (Gothic Playable Teaser) of what a new Gothic could look and feel like will appear in the Steam Library of everyone who owns a game from Piranha Bytes, be it Gothic 1-3, Risen 1-3, or ELEX. They can play the yet-untitled Gothic Remake project and roam around the Mining Colony of Khorinis. After that, THQ Nordic is eager to learn from the players through a survey following the completion of the prototype, whether and how it should proceed with the production of a full Gothic Remake, or leave the heritage and the great memories associated with it untouched.
