Gothic 1 Remake Demo Coming to Steam Next Fest – Featuring New Protagonist Niras

Alkimia Interactive, the studio behind the highly anticipated Gothic 1 Remake, has given journalists early access to a new demo. Originally planned for Gamescom, this demo will soon be available to the public.

This demo acts as a prequel to the full game, introducing a new protagonist: Niras, a prisoner arriving in the Miners' Valley. Unlike the original Nameless Hero, Niras's experiences will shape a distinct narrative arc as he interacts with the valley's inhabitants.

A previous prologue demo, showcasing Niras's arrival and introduction to the Colony's harsh environment, was shown at Gamescom 2024. This expanded demo will soon be available to all players, offering a taste of the Gothic world's updated visuals and gameplay. Both this demo and the final game are nearly entirely rebuilt, promising extended playtime, a more detailed portrayal of the orcs, and enhanced immersion. Fans can anticipate a significantly richer and more engaging experience than the original.

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