To celebrate the release of the Gothic 1 Remake demo, "Nyras Prologue," THQ Nordic and Alkimia Interactive have unveiled a new trailer. Unlike the original Gothic, where players embody the Nameless Hero, this demo lets you experience the game from the perspective of Nyras, a prisoner fighting for survival in the unforgiving world of Khorinis.
Released during the Steam Next Fest, the Gothic Remake demo has already shattered concurrent player records for the entire series:

This prologue showcases the impressive visual upgrades, including enhanced graphics, animations, and a revamped combat system powered by Unreal Engine 5. While the demo doesn't fully capture the expansive freedom and deep RPG mechanics of the complete game, it offers a compelling taste of what's to come.
The Gothic Remake is slated for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam and GOG). A specific release date is yet to be announced.
