Evaluation

Gothic 1 Remake launched on June 5, 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Since then the developer has released Patch 1.0.1 on June 12, 2026, which added a lockpick difficulty indicator along with many fixes, and Version 1.0.5 Hotfix 2 on September 25, 2026, which fixed a freeze in the Minecrawler Queen's chamber. On August 7, 2026 the developer posted a message saying the team is in it for the long run and that new features would arrive in the next couple of months: a photo mode, Marvin Mode (a developer-style sandbox tool for spawning creatures and items and teleporting around the map), a modding kit, and alternative progression mechanics. The message also said 'This adventure is far from over' and that the developer may answer questions about a next game at the THQ Nordic Showcase 2027. Counting from August 7, the stated timeframe runs to roughly early October 2026, and no developer post so far confirms that any of these features has shipped.

About this game

The Legend is Back

Return to the Valley of the Mines in this faithful remake of the genre-defining open world RPG. Explore a hand-crafted, organic open world that reacts dynamically to your actions. Whether you're a seasoned Gothic veteran or this is your first time being thrown into the colony, you're in for a true RPG experience with unrestricted exploration like no other.

Welcome to the Colony

The Kingdom of Myrtana has been invaded by a relentless horde of orcs. Desperate for powerful weapons to repel them, King Rhobar II orders the mining of vast quantities of magical ore, setting every available prisoner to work in the Khorinis mines. To ensure no one escapes, the King commands his most skilled mages to erect a magical barrier. But something goes terribly wrong, and the magic spirals out of control, trapping everyone inside. The prisoners rebel, transforming the mine into a lawless territory ruled by the Colony’s most brutal inmates.

Now, the King must negotiate with these new rulers, as tensions rise among the mine's factions. Amidst the chaos, the arrival of an unknown prisoner will change everything …
