Gothic: 2026 Will Be the Year of the Franchise! [VIDEO]

We’ve collected all the latest developments surrounding the Gothic franchise in one place, as there have been several big announcements recently. For the first time ever, Gothic 1, 2, and 3 will be released on consoles, featuring updated controls and full gamepad support. Whether you’re revisiting the Colony or exploring Myrtana for the very first time, now is the perfect time to (re)discover the world of Gothic. Two legendary RPGs in one package: deadly enemies yet to be conquered, treasures waiting to be unearthed, and bonds yet to be forged. More than 100 hours of RPG greatness await the Nameless Hero’s journey. Discover Khorinis and its mining colony in the bundle featuring Gothic Classic and Gothic II Complete Classic.

 

Gothic Classic delivers over 50 hours of gameplay, a vast selection of weapons and spells, and a unique character progression system built around teachers scattered across the world. Experience a living, breathing game world where people work, sleep, eat, and struggle for survival. Choose between three camps, each providing a unique perspective on the main story. Gothic II Complete Classic introduces tailored controls and a user interface optimized for consoles, over 100 thrilling quests across varied locales, a vibrant world filled with over 500 unique NPCs (each with their own daily routine), and a story path shaped by the player. More than 200 weapons and spells are available, with over 12 hours of voice acting and the Night of the Raven expansion included.

The Nintendo Switch saw Gothic Classic launch on September 28, 2023, followed by Gothic II Complete Classic on November 29, 2023. Gothic Classic: Khorinis Saga, containing both titles, arrived on June 27, 2024. Following these, Gothic 3 Classic has been newly announced. 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.
