Enter the Colony in Gothic 1 Remake on June 5th, 2026. Available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.Locked inside a prison with no escape, the laws ar...
I played at least two demos, and the last one felt generally close to the original. It was however just the entrance bit. A few things were changed, like you can no longer jump straight up.
The original do work perfectly fine today for anyone that wants to experience the game.
Please, let this be good. Gothic still is in my top10 games ever.
But usually remakes suck, and if they don’t suck (tes:oblivion maybe?), they just fail to get even close to the nostalgia and just point out what could’ve been better BACK THEN.
But hey, maybe I’m wrong and this will be the tits! I sure hope so.
Looks like an incredibly generic fantasy game with mediocre combat. I know that Gothic is more than that, but they’ve really not emphasized those bits in this trailer. If I didn’t know about Gothic already from other sources this trailer would give me absolutely zero desire to play the game.
Played the intro/demo thing they had up a while ago. The world and stuff seemed promising. The combat was slightly better but still quite similar to the original game. Which imo is not that good of a thing. I’m still gonna play it, cause I love the game, but still… was hoping for a bigger improvement in what I consider to be the side of the game that most needed jt.
I didn’t get to play the original and is not clear to me what the game is about from watching the trailer. What should I expect? An RPG,a survival game? Is it story based, or maybe more of a sandbox open world style?
Back when the original released it was a great RPG with a great story and a world that felt alive, compared to most other RPG that were on the market. The world was open to explore from the begining without any safeguards to run into strong monsters, which helped the emersion a lot.
The controls were strange, but worked somehow, when you got used to it. Combat was challenging and the leveling was rewarding, because you got notably stronger.
I hope the remake is good and translates these strength into the modern age.

I’m going to be cautiously optimistic. I really want a Gothic remake. The story and setting are unique but the originally hasn’t aged that well.
But I don’t know enough about the remake to be super excited, so I’ll do the sensible wait for the reviews thing.
I have only played Gothic 2, so it’s time to revisit the games at some point. I heard there is a full-game-sized mod as well.

It’s an action RPG.
