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

Alkimia Interactive, the developer behind the eagerly awaited Gothic 1 Remake, has provided journalists with early access to a new playable demo. Initially shown at Gamescom, this demo will soon be available to the public.

This demo acts as a preview, introducing a new protagonist: Niras, a prisoner arriving in the Miners' Valley. Unlike the original's Nameless Hero, Niras' experiences will shape a unique narrative arc within the game's world.

A previous Gamescom 2024 demo offered a glimpse into Niras' arrival and his initial interactions within the Colony. This expanded demo, soon to be released, will give players a more extensive look at the revamped Gothic world. Both this demo and the final game are largely rebuilt, promising increased playtime, a more detailed portrayal of the orcs, and enhanced immersive features. Expect a significantly richer and more engaging experience than the original.

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