Gothic 1 Remake Demo Now Available on Steam

Author:Kristen Update:Apr 08,2025

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 departure from the original Gothic, where players embodied the Nameless Hero, the remake introduces us to Nyras, a prisoner navigating the same perilous world with the same ultimate goal: survival.

The demo, released during the Steam Next Fest event, has already broken records for concurrent players, surpassing all previous entries in the series. This achievement underscores the high anticipation and enthusiasm surrounding the remake.

The showcased segment of the remake offers a glimpse into the updated graphics, animations, and a combat system powered by Unreal Engine 5. While the prologue provides a taste of what's to come, it cannot fully capture the expansive freedom of action and intricate RPG mechanics that players will explore in the complete game.

The Gothic Remake is slated for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC (available on Steam and GOG). Although an official release date has yet to be announced, the buzz around the demo suggests that fans are eagerly awaiting more details.
