Gothic 1 Remake News

Hey Gothic Community!

Gothic 1 Remake’s development is in full swing and we would like to share everything at once, but let's leave something for dessert?

Today we decided to give you a first look at a redesigned Bloodfly!

Do you remember how much problems do these creatures cause in the early game? You should be aware of the poisonous sting of a Bloodfly or you will get into trouble!

To avoid them, don’t come close to the places, where the soil is damp and the air is humid! The flies gather there, attracted by the sweat of all kinds of beings. They use their stings to kill their victims and feast on their blood.

How do you like the new design?

Gothic community, we hear you loud and clear. That’s why we decided to give you exactly what you’ve been asking for over the last two years: mounts for goblins.

The new Snapper mount for goblins will arrive in the in-game G-Store of the Gothic 1 Remake soon after release! Help them attack lonesome travelers in style with this exclusive reptile steed skin, available at a 50% discount for one week only.

Greetings from the Colony! As the year 2021 is coming to an end, Alkimia Interactive and THQ Nordic just wanted to wish everyone Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year.

Thank you for your support and enjoy the holidays! We have prepared a short video from the Gothic Remake developers. The Goblin's hats will of course not be part of the game, who would put a Santa outfit in a game?

Back in March, we released a render of the actual in-game Scavenger created for the Gothic Remake to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Gothic. Since it’s been a while, we thought we would post another update.
We really enjoyed the critical discussions and constructive feedback that came out of this post and so we will continue releasing key elements of the game that way.
Today we're bringing you a sneak peak of our interpretation of the Minecrawler.

We can assure you that they’re even more terrifying moving around in-game. We also came up with a small additional twist to these creatures, but there’ll be more on that in a later update.

Generally, we are very pleased to share that the development of the Gothic Remake is progressing on all fronts. We have assembled a team of over 35 specialized developers at our Barcelona office and are working with several contractors and outsources in addition. Gothic may be more than 20 years old, but the scope of this game cannot be underestimated.

We are also still looking for additional people to join our team. If you’re interested, you can check our open positions here: www.alkimiainteractive.com

Today, we want to put a special spotlight on the open position of Community Manager at Alkimia Interactive! We are looking for a versatile person to join us at our Barcelona office and help with coordinating our communication efforts and community presence, among other things. The most important part is to be passionate about Gothic and proficient in English and German (ideally Polish or Russian as well). You can find more details here: https://alkimiainteractive.com/callforcommunitymanager.html

Enhance your adventure – Gothic Remake to feature in-game store

Barcelona, Spain / Vienna, Austria, April 1st, 2021: Gothic has just turned 20 years old, and players around the world can’t wait to put their feet back into the Colony. As THQ Nordic and developer Alkimia Interactive promised, the development process for the upcoming Gothic Remake will be as transparent as possible. And therefore, the two companies are proud to present one of the exciting new features of the Gothic Remake: The G-Store.

After analyzing all the great RPGs out there, it became quite clear that players want to have a chance to enhance and customize their adventures. With the G-Store, Alkimia Interactive and THQ Nordic will offer vast options to do so. The store will feature new equipment for the hero – you can get the legendary weapons of Diego or all-new clothes to really stand out between all the other colonists. Also, the shop will offer a large amount of quality of life items, such as healing potions, XP-boosters or creature-type focused damage-enhancers, if you are struggling to slay a troll for example. Also, if the player has spent all their learning points or attribute points in a way that doesn’t please them anymore, a full respec is also available for a small fee.

And – for the very first time in the Gothic franchise – the G-Store will exclusively feature the most requested item-types ever: pets! If you ever felt a bit lonely while running through the wilderness, we have a solution: Get a pet! Be it a baby scavenger or a young troll, everyone will find a beloved companion.



Each transaction in the G-Store is done with G-Coins. These can either be purchased at a fixed rate as seen in the price list below or via viewing live streams of the game – for each hour watching the Gothic Remake in a stream, registered users will be rewarded with G-Coins. The exact offering of the in-game store depends on the community feedback and will be revealed closer to the game’s release.

G-Coins pricing overview:
• 2.500 G-Coins for EUR/USD 12.99
• 5.000 G-Coins for EUR/USD 24.99 (+500 Bonus G-Coins)
• 10.000 G-Coins for EUR/USD 59.99 (+1000 Bonus G-Coins)
• 20.000 G-Coins for EUR/USD 99.99 (best value and +2000 Bonus G-Coins)



"With the Gothic Remake, we do not simply want to make the old Gothic look shiny, we want to fully adopt the game and bring it up to 2021 standards (and probably beyond). We are all big fans of open-world RPGs in general and in almost all of them is a shop for the modern player: Hardworking in real life, earning a lot of money but having no time to spend it. For this kind of people, we offer THE perfect solution!“ says Reinhard Pollice, Studio Head at Alkimia Interactive & Business and Development Director at THQ Nordic, "we did a representative survey in our finance department and 100% of the people agreed, that this is a fantastic idea!“

The Gothic Remake is currently in development for PC, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S. There is no official estimated release window yet.
