The Chronicles Of Myrtana: Archolos News

Two topics related to The Chronicles of Myrtana have come up in the past few weeks that we would like to officially address.

1) The Chronicles of Myrtana appeared on the Spine platform without our consent or knowledge. We cannot ensure that the version available there is up-to-date, free of any malware, and compatible with other versions. This is why we strongly discourage playing the modification via this platform and as we will not be able to resolve any encountered issues.

2) The Chronicles of Myrtana does not cooperate with any Gothic Online/Multiplayer server. There is no such thing as an official Archolos or The Chronicles of Myrtana server, and we did not authorize any group to use our resources.

All content from The Chronicles of Myrtana may be used and distributed solely under the Gothic Mod licence - this includes use in other mods based on Zengine, as long as the users of these resources do not derive any financial benefit from it and the origin of the assets used is clearly stated.

We hope that this information will dispel any doubts and fake news you may have come across.

Patch 1.1.3 is available now!

We are going to release another major Patch named 1.2 in a few days. It will feature even more bugfixes, balance changes and other improvements. We also hope to start community-supported translation on Crowdin after the patch, but we still can't confirm it yet. Once again, please wait for further announcements as we continue to work on preparing Crowdin. We sincerely thank you for the great response from all communities that want to give their compatriots a chance to experience our game!

It happened!

Tonight we received news that we have won the title of Mod of the Year 2021 in a poll organized by ModDB.

This is a great honour for us, and we want to sincerely thank all those who gave their vote for us in this contest. Without you this victory would not have been possible. It is thanks to the commitment of all the fans that the Gothic brand is still alive and well - even almost two decades after the release of the first games.

We could not have dreamed of a better community, and we hope that you will visit Archolos as often as you set foot on Khorinis for all these years!

May the grace of Adanos always shine upon you!
