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 prelude to the full game, introducing a new protagonist: Niras, a prisoner arriving in the Miners' Valley. Unlike the original Nameless Hero, Niras's journey will offer a fresh perspective on the familiar setting and its inhabitants, laying the groundwork for the larger story.

A previous prologue demo, showcasing Niras's arrival and introduction to the Colony's harsh environment, was shown at Gamescom 2024. This expanded demo will soon be available to all players, providing a taste of the Gothic world's updated visuals and gameplay. Both this demo and the final game are almost entirely rebuilt, promising extended playtime, a more detailed portrayal of the orcs, and enhanced immersion. Expect a significantly richer experience than the original.

The new Gothic 1 Remake demo will launch on Steam as part of the Steam Next Fest, available for free from the evening of February 24th until the evening of March 3rd. Don't miss this opportunity to experience the remake! The full release of Gothic 1 Remake is scheduled for later this year on PC (Steam, GOG), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
