Alkimia Interactive, the studio behind the highly anticipated Gothic 1 Remake, has given journalists early access to a brand-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' experiences will shape a unique perspective on the game's narrative.
A previous prologue demo, showcasing Niras' arrival and introduction to the Colony's harsh environment, was shown at Gamescom 2024. This upcoming demo expands upon that, offering a more complete experience of the rebuilt world. The Gothic 1 Remake, built almost entirely from scratch, promises extended gameplay, a deeper focus on the orcs, and enhanced immersive elements, significantly enriching the original's experience.
The latest Gothic 1 Remake demo will be available for free on Steam during the Steam Next Fest event. Play it from the evening of February 24th until the evening of March 3rd. The full game will launch later this year on PC (Steam, GOG), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
