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 brand-new demo. Originally planned for Gamescom, this demo will soon be available to the public.

This demo acts as a prologue, introducing a new protagonist: Niras, a prisoner arriving in the Miners' Valley. Unlike the original game's Nameless Hero, Niras' perspective offers a fresh take on the familiar setting and its inhabitants, laying the groundwork for the game's overarching story.

A previous Gamescom 2024 demo showcased Niras' arrival and introduction to the Colony's harsh environment. This upcoming demo expands upon that, offering a more substantial experience. Both this demo and the final game are largely rebuilt from the ground up, promising extended playtime, a deeper exploration of the orcs, and enhanced immersion. Expect a richer and more engaging experience than the original Gothic.

The Gothic 1 Remake demo will launch 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 your chance to play! The full release of Gothic 1 Remake is scheduled for later this year on PC (Steam, GOG), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
