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's perspective will shape the early narrative and interactions with the valley's inhabitants.
A previous Gamescom 2024 demo showcased Niras's arrival and introduction to the Colony's harsh environment. This upcoming demo expands upon that, offering a more comprehensive experience of the updated Gothic world. Both the demo and the final game are largely rebuilt, promising extended gameplay, a deeper exploration of the orcs, and enhanced immersion. Expect a significantly richer 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. The full release of Gothic 1 Remake is slated for later this year on PC (Steam, GOG), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
