Despite all its flaws and rough edges, we still come back to it and play it with absolutely loving eyes, just like the first time we played this masterpiece. An important factor that has certainly contributed to the long life of the series is you! Gothic fans! Without you, without your thrill, your efforts, creativity, passion this all might not have happened. Thank you very much! We would also like to extend a huge thank you to the original developers of the game as well. You have created a unique new world that has captivated thousands of players around the world. We are also happy that some of them have joined us to work on the “Gothic 1 Remake”. We’ve prepared a gift for you, and wanted to reveal it today, but, unfortunately, it was stolen by one of the thieves from the New Camp. Seems like it was Mordrag. At least Thorus suspects him of this crime. We will send our best people to retrieve it from their dirty hands and bring it to you as soon as possible and believe it is worth it!Piranha Bytes, devs of Gothic and Elex, are next on Embracer's chopping blockJan 22, 2024 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunEmbracer Group is once again doing sterling work to demonstrate the perils of consolidation. Piranha Bytes, who are one of well over a hundred studios that Embracer bought up in recent years, today posted a statement on Xitter saying "Don't write us off yet!". The statement goes on to say that they're "convinced they will succeed". Succeed at what, you might ask? Not being shut down by Embracer.

I was too busy making Half-Life levels and reading Championship Manager fanfic to be interested in some game about mages in a hole. I've since realised the errors of my ways, and I quite fancy the chance to correct my previous wrongs via the Gothic 1 remake. There's a new trailer for it and its big modern hole below.

They released a public playable prototype in December and, having surveyed players, today announced reactions were positive enough for them to think it worthwhile. They did note that they’re aware that not all the Gothic Playable Teaser’s new design decisions and artistic changes were popular, and say they’ll have a think about all that before getting stuck right into the remake.

Maybe, series owners THQ Nordic think, so they’ve made a prototype of a remake and last night gave it to fans to see what they think. This prototype looks all shiny and new, obviously, while also modernising other parts of the old formula. The company say that if people like this wee teaser, they’ll go ahead with remaking the whole thing. If not, they won’t. The prototype is available now to anyone who owns a Piranha Bytes game on Steam. (more…) If you don't play Gothic's playable teaser THQ Nordic won't make itDec 14, 2019 - EurogamerTHQ Nordic is mulling over whether or not it should remake the fantasy RPG Gothic and to help it decide, it's released a free playable teaser to give you a taster. That said, it's not available for just anyone. The demo's only downloadable for those who already have a Gothic game or any other title from developer Piranha Bytes in their Steam libraries, even though PB isn't involved in the remake. "This is not a full game. Its a playable teaser version to a potential approach for a new Gothic game. Nothing is set in stone", THQ Nordic says in the game description on Steam (thanks, Engadget).

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. https://store.steampowered.com/app/950670/Gothic_Playable_Teaser/ 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 Check out the comparison video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Crc2iO_-LR8 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.

They’re the German studio who created Gothic, Risen, and Elex, three open-world RPG series with varying degrees of promise and wonk that make many go “Oh huh, yeah, they could be neat.” Along with the team, THQ Nordic have bought the rights to those three and do hint that a sequel to 2017’s Elex is coming.

Gothic creator Piranha BytesMay 22, 2019 - EurogamerTHQ Nordic has acquired Gothic creator Piranha Bytes, and with it the IP rights to Gothic, Risen and Elex. The two companies have worked together before - THQ Nordic having been the publisher of Elex (2017), which was a bit ropey but charming nonetheless (a little like Piranha Bytes' other games). On the prospect of Elex 2, the acquisition press release said: "Semi-official comment: Have a guess." As for a new Gothic - presumably Gothic 5? "Nothing to say at this stage."

We talk about worlds and locations and settings, but often these boil down to unusual geography or art direction surface details and imagery rather than a real identity. Gothic, by contrast, wasn’t particularly pretty. Its setting wasn’t the singular underground world of Arx Fatalis, nor the varied alien landscape of Morrowind. Instead, Piranha Bytes recognised back in 2001 that a place is a place not because of its landscape or biome or buildings, but because the people there make it one. Most RPGs have NPC traffic. Gothic had a society. … ELEX: Trailer & Details On Risen Dev s New Action RPGJun 1, 2016 - Rock, Paper, Shotgun“Eclectic, Lavish, Exhilarating, Xenial”, was how Risen and Gothic developers Piranha Bytes described their forthcoming post-apocalyptic open world RPG ELEX when they announced it last year. I reckon they were being purposefully tongue-in-cheek, but either way we didn’t have all too much to go on back then beyond the initial idea. Fast forward the better part of a year, and a website overhaul, a load of new info and a fresh “mood” trailer now offer us a better understanding of what it’s all about. Observe: …
