Gothic 1 Remake Shares Its Essence

Publisher THQ Nordic released a making-of video for the upcoming action RPG Gothic 1 Remake. The thirteen-minute video, titled The Essence of Gothic, sees staff members of developer Alkimia Interactive sharing how they are reimagining the original Gothic while staying true to the source material.

Gothic 1 Remake is being developed for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X, though a release window has not been announced. The original game was developed by Piranha Bytes and released for PC in 2001, with a Nintendo Switch port released in 2023. The game is an action RPG set in a medieval fantasy realm where anyone found breaking the law is sent to the giant penal colony of Khorinis to mine the much needed ore for a war effort against an Orcish invasion. It spawned two official follow-ups, as well as the Arcania spin-off that was originally titled Arcania: Gothic 4.

Fascinated by the screens since I saw them, video games are a sorcery I quickly became obsessed with. This passion culminated with the discovery of the RPGs. At that time, they were likely the sole titles where story and world building mattered as much as gameplay. Now, I am writing about them, especially my favorite ones: the JRPGs!
