Gothic Remake Sets June 5 Launch on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC

THQ Nordic set the date after moving off a soft Q1 window to prioritize final polish.

Overview

  • Publisher THQ Nordic and developer Alkimia Interactive confirmed a global release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and GOG.
  • The remake is a full rebuild that preserves the original’s gritty, open‑ended design while modernizing visuals, combat, and core systems.
  • Playtime stretches to over 50 hours with roughly 20–25% more side quests, restored cut areas, and improved pacing in later chapters.
  • A dynamic living world simulates NPC routines, reflects major story events with visible environmental changes, and reacts systemically to player actions.
  • Original writer Mattias Filler returned to address plot gaps and expand the narrative, and a free demo remains available for an early look.
