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 a fresh take on the classic game, players can now step into the shoes of Nyras, a prisoner navigating the unforgiving world of Gothic. While the character has changed, Nyras shares the same core objective as the original Nameless Hero: survival.

The demo was released during Steam Next Fest and has quickly broken records for concurrent player numbers, outpacing all other games in the Gothic series:

The demo showcases the remake's enhanced graphics, smoother animations, and a revamped combat system, all powered by Unreal Engine 5. While the prologue provides a glimpse into these improvements, it does not fully capture the extensive freedom and deep RPG mechanics that players can expect in the complete game.

Gothic Remake is slated for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and GOG. Although an official release date has yet to be announced, anticipation continues to build among fans eagerly awaiting this updated classic.
