All three classics are set to hit PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in 2026. Now, let’s turn to the Gothic Remake.
The Kingdom of Myrtana has fallen under the onslaught of a ruthless orc horde. King Rhobar II, desperate for magical ore to forge powerful weapons, works the mines of Khorinis with the help of prisoners. To prevent escapes, he commands his finest magicians to conjure a magical barrier—but something goes terribly wrong. The magic spirals out of control, sparking a rebellion and transforming the mines into a lawless wildland ruled by the most violent inmates. Forced to negotiate with the new masters, the king struggles to maintain order as tensions rise between the mine’s factions. No one expects the arrival of an unknown prisoner to upend everything.
Return to the Colony in a full remake of the groundbreaking 2001 game. Rediscover the world of the mining colony, its mysteries, and its dangers! Step into the shoes of the Nameless Hero—a lifer condemned to survive among beasts, monsters, and dangerous criminals. This faithful remake modernizes the original’s classic combat system for a new generation.
According to Alkimia Interactive and THQ Nordic, the Gothic Remake will launch in early 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC.
