To celebrate the release of the Gothic 1 Remake demo, "Nyras Prologue," THQ Nordic and Alkimia Interactive have unveiled a captivating new trailer. Unlike the original Gothic, where players embodied the Nameless Hero, this remake lets you experience the story through the eyes of Nyras, a prisoner fighting for survival in the unforgiving world of Khorinis.

Released during the Steam Next Fest, the demo has already shattered concurrent player records for the entire Gothic series:

The "Nyras Prologue" showcases the remake's stunning visuals, enhanced animations, and a revamped combat system powered by Unreal Engine 5. While the demo offers a glimpse into this enhanced experience, it naturally doesn't fully capture the expansive freedom and intricate RPG mechanics awaiting players in the complete game.

Gothic Remake is slated for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam and GOG). A specific release date remains unannounced.
