Barcelona, Spain / Vienna, Austria - February 12th, 2026: The Gothic 1 Remake's primary objective has always been to recreate that raw, unforgettable magic of the original – the gritty camp vibes, the living open-world, the rough language, the unforgiving wilderness, and that nameless, no-hero outsider feel that made Gothic a cult legend 25 years ago. The developers at Alkimia Interactive poured endless hours into tweaking every detail: faces that scream "Old Camp thug," voices with that perfect throaty rasp for each character, features that hit just right while feeling modern without losing the grit. 

This project was never about slapping together "good enough" – it's about making it look and feel "Gothic" in every corner of the world. And this could only be achieved through way more iterations than your average project.

That's why the Gothic 1 Remake won't be releasing "Early" 2026, nor will it be late; it will arrive precisely when it's meant to:

June 5th, 2026.

Phew. We said it. Locked and loaded, you'll visit the Colony once again in June 2026. One thing is for sure: this could have only been done with the constant support of the Gothic community. That pure, unfiltered passion is what defines Gothic. We can't wait for the players to finally hear the words "Welcome to the Colony!" again.
