Gothic 1 Remake Demo Coming to Steam Next Fest – Featuring New Protagonist Niras

Alkimia Interactive, the developer behind the highly anticipated Gothic 1 Remake, has provided select journalists with early access to a new demo. Originally slated for Gamescom, this demo will soon be available to the public.

This demo acts as a preview, featuring a new protagonist, Niras, instead of the original Nameless Hero. Niras, a fellow prisoner, arrives in the Miners' Valley and interacts with its inhabitants, offering a unique perspective on the game's overarching story.

A previous prologue demo, showcasing Niras' arrival and introduction to the Colony's harsh reality, was presented at Gamescom 2024. This upcoming demo will provide broader access, allowing players globally to experience the revamped Gothic world. Both the demo and the final game are largely rebuilt, boasting extended gameplay, enhanced orc interactions, and increased immersion. Expect a significantly richer experience than the original.

The Gothic 1 Remake demo will debut on Steam during the Steam Next Fest. It will be free to download from the evening of February 24th until the evening of March 3rd. Following this period, access will be revoked. The full Gothic 1 Remake is scheduled for release later this year on PC (Steam, GOG), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
