The Gothic 1 Remake demo has been released on Steam

THQ Nordic and Alkimia Interactive have released a new trailer for the Gothic 1 Remake, coinciding with the launch of the "Nyras Prologue" demo.

Unlike the original Gothic, which starred the Nameless Hero, the remake lets players experience the story through the eyes of a prisoner named Nyras. Despite the protagonist change, Nyras's ultimate goal remains the same: survival in the unforgiving game world.

The demo, released during the Steam Next Fest, has already broken concurrent player records for the entire Gothic franchise:

This prologue showcases the remake's enhanced visuals, animations, and Unreal Engine 5-powered combat system. While the demo doesn't fully represent the expansive gameplay and deep RPG mechanics of the complete game, it offers a compelling glimpse.

The Gothic Remake is slated for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam, GOG). A firm release date is yet to be announced.
