To celebrate the launch of the "Nyras Prologue" demo for the Gothic 1 Remake, THQ Nordic and Alkimia Interactive have unveiled an exciting new trailer. In this reimagined version of the classic game, players step into the shoes of Nyras, a prisoner navigating the unforgiving world of Gothic. Despite the change in protagonist, Nyras shares the same fundamental objective as the original Nameless Hero—to survive.
The demo was released during the Steam Next Fest event and has quickly broken records, boasting the highest number of concurrent players seen across the entire Gothic series:

The demo segment showcases the remake's enhanced graphics, refined animations, and a combat system powered by Unreal Engine 5. While the prologue offers a glimpse into these improvements, it only scratches the surface of the expansive freedom of action and rich RPG mechanics that will be fully explored in the complete version of the game.
The Gothic Remake is slated for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC platforms including Steam and GOG. An official release date is yet to be announced, keeping fans eagerly awaiting further updates.
