As of today, publisher THQ Nordic announced the release date for its long-awaited remake of Gothic. Developed by Piranha Bytes, Gothic arrived on PC in 2001 and became a huge success for the studio. Not only did it spawn multiple sequels, expansions, and even a spin-off, but it would inspire many RPGs in the years to come, specifically The Witcher and The Elder Scrolls franchises. Now, despite the series being on ice for the better part of the past 15 years, the original Gothic is getting a remake from Alkimia Interactive that will come to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on June 5th.
This RPG Remake Is a Long Time Coming
News of Gothic getting a remake isn’t anything new, as this project was announced by THQ Nordic all the way back in 2020. What is new, though, is the fact that Gothic Remake now has a very real launch date. Originally, the project was expected to launch in 2024. This led to a delay into 2025, which subsequently resulted in another delay to 2026. Now, at long last, THQ Nordic has committed to a firm release date that should be met barring any unforeseen circumstances.
