Alkimia Interactive, the studio behind the highly anticipated Gothic 1 Remake, has given journalists early access to a new demo. Originally planned for Gamescom, this demo will soon be available to the public.
This demo acts as a prequel to the full game, introducing a new protagonist: Niras, a prisoner arriving in the Miners' Valley. Unlike the original Nameless Hero, Niras' perspective will shape the early narrative and interactions with the valley's inhabitants.
A previous Gamescom 2024 demo showcased Niras' arrival and introduction to the Colony's harsh realities. This upcoming demo expands on that, offering a broader experience of the updated Gothic world. Both this demo and the final game are nearly entirely rebuilt, promising extended gameplay, a more detailed portrayal of the orcs, and enhanced immersive elements. Expect a significantly richer and more engaging experience than the original.
The Gothic 1 Remake demo will launch on Steam during the Steam Next Fest, available for free from the evening of February 24th to the evening of March 3rd. After this period, access will be revoked. The full Gothic 1 Remake is slated for release later this year on PC (Steam, GOG), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
