Gothic 1 Remake Trailer Reveals Modern Recreation of Old Camp

The highly anticipated Gothic 1 Remake has released a new trailer showcasing a modernized version of the Old Camp. After more than twenty years since the original game’s release, this new iteration boasts impressive visual upgrades.

Originally announced in 2020 following THQ Nordic’s acquisition of Piranha Bytes, the developer of the Gothic series, Gothic 1 Remake is set to be a faithful recreation of the beloved 2001 action RPG. While the release date for the game on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S remains unknown, fans were treated to the latest trailer during the THQ Nordic 2023 Digital Showcase.

If you’re unfamiliar with the storyline of the original game, the Steam synopsis of the remake provides some insight. It states, “The Kingdom of Myrtana has been invaded by an implacable horde of orcs. King Rhobar II, in need of a large quantity of magical ore in order to forge powerful weapons, operates the Khorinis mines with all available prisoners. To prevent them from escaping, the monarch asks his best magicians to create a magical barrier. But something goes wrong. The magic gets out of control and a mutiny turns the mines into a wild territory now controlled by the most violent prisoners.”

While the new trailer doesn’t showcase the modernized combat system, it offers fans a glimpse of the lavish and expansive Old Camp in the Valley of Mines. The trailer follows a “charismatic scoundrel” as they leisurely navigate the city.

The press release mentions that Gothic 1 Remake is currently in full development, with no confirmed release date at this time.
