Gothic 1 Remake Demo Now Available on Steam

In celebration of the release of the *Nyras Prologue* demo for the *Gothic 1 Remake*, THQ Nordic and Alkimia Interactive have unveiled an official trailer that gives players a first glimpse into the reimagined world of Gothic.

While the original *Gothic* allowed players to step into the shoes of the iconic Nameless Hero, the remake introduces a fresh narrative perspective by letting players take on the role of a prisoner named Nyras. Despite this change in character identity, the core mission remains the same—he must survive in the unforgiving and immersive world of the game.

The *Gothic 1 Remake* demo launched as part of the Steam Next Fest event and has already achieved a notable milestone. It recorded the highest number of concurrent players among all Gothic series releases to date, signaling strong community interest and anticipation:

The demo showcases significant improvements powered by Unreal Engine 5, including enhanced graphics, refined animations, and a more responsive combat system. While the prologue offers a taste of what’s to come, it only scratches the surface of the full RPG experience—featuring the deep storytelling, open-ended gameplay, and immersive mechanics that fans expect from the series.

The full version of the *Gothic 1 Remake* is currently in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (available via Steam and GOG). However, an official release date has yet to be announced. Stay tuned for further updates as more details are revealed.
