Gothic 1 Remake Demo Coming to Steam Next Fest – Featuring New Protagonist Niras

Alkimia Interactive, the studio behind the highly anticipated Gothic 1 Remake, has given journalists early access to a new demo. Originally planned for Gamescom, this demo will soon be available to the public.

This demo acts as a preview of the full game, introducing a new protagonist: Niras, a prisoner arriving in the Miners' Valley. Unlike the original Nameless Hero, Niras's experiences will shape a unique perspective on the game's narrative and its inhabitants.

A previous Gamescom 2024 demo showcased Niras's arrival and introduction to the Colony's harsh realities. This upcoming demo expands on that, offering a more comprehensive experience of the rebuilt world of Gothic. Both the demo and the final game are nearly entirely rebuilt, promising extended gameplay, enhanced orc interactions, and increased immersion. Expect a significantly richer experience than the original.

The Gothic 1 Remake demo will launch on Steam as part of the Steam Next Fest, available for free from the evening of February 24th to the evening of March 3rd. The full game will launch later this year on PC (Steam, GOG), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
