![]() At this time I’d like to take a moment and give props to THQ Nordic for this move. In the interest of being completely transparent with the community, THQ Nordic publicly shared the results of this survey. The publisher noted that a grand total of 180k people played the teaser since December, 43K of which went on to leave feedback via a survey that was only available to participants. As a result, the upcoming title is now entering production with THQ Nordic’s blessing. ![]() And those were just a few of the changes, but more on that later on.ĭespite all of that, however, the mere mention of a possible Gothic 1 Remake was enough to rally tens of thousands of fans of the original who voiced their support for the project. To make matters worse, the world was now bright and colorful, the game paused when you opened the menu, and there were invisible walls everywhere. THQ Barcelona made significant changes to the opening sequence and transformed the once (mostly) silent protagonist into an obnoxious wisecracking smartass. The demo we got was a huge departure from the original, to the point where it barely felt like a Gothic game. There were plenty of concerns right off the bat that a different developer might not be able to capture the essence of the original and, for the most part, that’s exactly what happened. The teaser wasn’t developed by Piranha Bytes, the creators of the original, but by a newly-formed studio known as THQ Barcelona. The demo was rough around the edges but it gave us an idea of what a potential Gothic 1 Remake could look like. While we don’t know exactly what to expect from the final version of the game, there is reason to be optimistic about the future of Gothic.īack in December of last year, THQ Nordic took Gothic fans by surprise when it released a playable prototype of the classic RPG on Steam. The publisher went on to share the good news on Steam and Facebook while also mentioning that the massive amount of feedback received from fans played a huge role in the decision. The Gothic 1 Remake was officially green-lighted according to a new announcement made yesterday by THQ Nordic.
