In celebration of the "Nyras Prologue" demo release for the Gothic 1 Remake, THQ Nordic and Alkimia Interactive have unveiled an exciting new trailer. This remake introduces a fresh perspective by allowing players to step into the shoes of Nyras, a prisoner, instead of the original Nameless Hero. Despite the change in character, Nyras's primary objective remains unchanged—to endure and thrive in the unforgiving world of Gothic.
The demo, launched during the Steam Next Fest event, has already achieved a remarkable milestone by setting a record for the highest concurrent player count among all entries in the Gothic series. The image below from steamdb.info illustrates this impressive achievement:
The demo features a segment of the remake that showcases enhanced graphics, refined animations, and a combat system powered by Unreal Engine 5. While the prologue provides a taste of what's to come, it only scratches the surface of the extensive freedom of action and rich RPG mechanics that players will discover in the full game.
The Gothic Remake is slated for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and GOG. Although an official release date has not been disclosed yet, fans eagerly anticipate further updates.
