Alkimia Interactive, the developer behind the highly anticipated Gothic 1 Remake, has provided journalists with early access to a new demo. Originally intended for Gamescom, this demo will soon be publicly available.

This demo offers a glimpse into the full game, featuring a new protagonist, Niras, instead of the original Nameless Hero. Niras, a fellow prisoner, arrives in the Miners' Valley and interacts with its inhabitants, providing a unique perspective on the game's story.

A previous Gamescom 2024 demo showcased Niras' arrival and introduction to the Colony's harsh realities. This upcoming demo, available to all players, will allow a wider audience to experience the revamped Gothic world. Both the demo and the final game are largely rebuilt, promising extended gameplay, enhanced orc interactions, and increased immersion. Expect a significantly richer experience than the original.

The Gothic 1 Remake demo will debut on Steam during the Steam Next Fest event. It will be free to play from the evening of February 24th to the evening of March 3rd. The full Gothic 1 Remake is scheduled for release later this year on PC (Steam, GOG), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
