Full Steam announcements and update articles for this title.
Twenty-five years ago, on March 15th, 2001, a small RPG from Germany called Gothic was released — and it quickly grew into one of the most iconic franchises in the genre. Over the years, it has also built something truly special: a huge and incredibly passionate community that, even after 25 years, is still active, creative, and full of energy.
The Gothic community has always been the beating heart of this franchise. Your passion, dedication, mods, discussions, and countless memories have kept the world of Gothic alive for a quarter of a century.
Today, THQ Nordic and Alkimia Interactive are celebrating this anniversary together with all of you. Our goal is to help this legendary series continue to live and grow — by bringing Gothic to new platforms, reimagining the classic games, and staying closely connected with the players who made it all possible.
To mark this special day, we have prepared a few presents for you — make sure to check out our THQ Nordic YouTube channel as well as the THQ Nordic Store for some unique anniversary items.
And this is not everything we have planned for this occasion — more news is coming soon, so stay tuned.
This is only the first quarter-century of Gothic’s journey. Let’s make this series immortal together.
See you in the remade Colony on June 5th
