Alkimia Interactive, the creative force behind the eagerly awaited Gothic 1 Remake, has recently provided early access to a brand-new demo to journalists from various outlets. Originally crafted for Gamescom, this demo is now poised to be released to the public in the near future.
This demo acts as an introduction to the full game, featuring a new protagonist named Niras, who takes the place of the classic Nameless Hero. Niras, another prisoner, arrives in the Miners' Valley and engages with its inhabitants, laying the groundwork for the expansive narrative to come.
In 2024, Alkimia Interactive showcased an exclusive prologue demo at Gamescom, which centered on Niras' arrival in the Colony and his initial encounters with its challenging environment and residents. This demo will soon be available to everyone, offering players around the world a chance to dive into the revamped world of Gothic. Both the demo and the final game have been reconstructed almost entirely from the ground up, promising extended playtime, a deeper focus on orcs, and enhanced immersive elements. Fans can look forward to a more enriched and captivating experience than the original game provided.
The latest demo of Gothic 1 Remake will be launched on Steam as part of the Steam Next Fest event. It will be available for free from the evening of February 24th until the evening of March 3rd, after which it will no longer be accessible. The full release of Gothic 1 Remake is scheduled for later this year on PC (Steam, GOG), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
