Gothic 1 Remake’s new trailer captures the atmosphere of the originalOr so I’m told

Or so I’m told

Gothicwas one of those PC games I dismissed as being for nerds. Me? I was too busy makingHalf-Lifelevels and reading Championship Manager fanfic to be interested in some game about mages in a hole.

I’ve since realised the errors of my ways, and I quite fancy the chance to correct my previous wrongs via the Gothic 1 remake. There’s a new trailer for it and its big modern hole below.

It only makes sense that I be interested given I amin the game.

TheGothic Remakehas had a slightly odd development so far. THQ Nordic offered up aprototype in 2020and asked players if they liked it enough to justify THQ Nordic continuing to work on it. Players, predictably,said they did want itand so THQ Nordic have continued working.

As a Gothic rookie, most of my excitement for the remake comes via Sin’sretrospective on the original from 2016, which made it sound wonderful.

If the Gothic 1 Remake is similarly thoughtful but less clunky, then I’m sold. There’s no release date as yet, but you’ll find itup on Steam as always.
