Less than a day after I find out from an old article that there was supposed to be a modernized remake of Gothic 1 on the way to be published this year and got all excited. Fucking fantastic 😮‍💨

The remake is still happening as it’s developed by Alkimia Interactive and published by THQ Nordic, Pyranha Bytes had nothing to do with it.

Yes, and I bet it will be a soulless husk of the original.

I’ll reserve my final judgment until 2nd of August and the THQ Nordic Showcase but the playable teaser they released doesn’t leave me optimistic either.
