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

Alkimia Interactive, the studio behind the highly anticipated Gothic 1 Remake, has given journalists early access to a new demo. Originally planned for Gamescom, this demo will soon be available to the public.

This demo acts as a prequel to the full game, introducing a new protagonist: Niras, a prisoner arriving in the Miners' Valley. Unlike the original Nameless Hero, Niras's perspective will shape the early narrative and interactions with the valley's inhabitants.

A previous Gamescom 2024 demo showcased Niras's arrival and introduction to the Colony's harsh realities. This upcoming demo expands upon that, offering a broader experience of the rebuilt world. The Gothic 1 Remake, including this demo, is a near-total reconstruction, promising extended gameplay, enhanced orc interactions, and richer immersive elements than the original.

The new Gothic 1 Remake demo launches on Steam as part of the Steam Next Fest, available for free from the evening of February 24th until the evening of March 3rd. Don't miss this limited-time opportunity! The full release of Gothic 1 Remake is scheduled for later this year on PC (Steam, GOG), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
