Gothic 1 Remake Reveals Nyras Prologue Demo With New Trailer

To celebrate the launch of the "Nyras Prologue" demo for Gothic 1 Remake, THQ Nordic and Alkimia Interactive have unveiled an exciting new trailer that gives fans a fresh perspective on the classic title.

A New Face in the Colony

Breaking from tradition, this remake introduces players to Nyras - a fellow prisoner within the mine colony. While adopting a different protagonist, the core challenge remains unchanged: survival in one of gaming's most unforgiving fantasy worlds.

The demo arrived during Steam Next Fest and immediately made history by achieving the highest concurrent player count in the entire Gothic series:

A Modern Take on a Classic

The prologue showcases dramatic visual improvements powered by Unreal Engine 5, including completely rebuilt character animations and a reimagined combat system. While this brief glimpse can't reveal the full scope of the RPG's freedom and depth, it offers a promising look at what's to come.

The Gothic Remake is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC platforms (Steam and GOG). While no specific release date has been confirmed, this successful demo suggests we won't be waiting too much longer to experience the complete revival.
