THQ Nordic has released a remake of the first “Gothic” on Steam, and the fate of the game depends on you

Lost in the sea of ​​announcements from The Game Awards was a new project from THQ Nordic, which presented and released a remake of the first

"Gothics".

What is known

Back in May 2019, the Nords bought PiranhaBytes along with the studio's intellectual property - the Gothic, Risen and ELEX series. The new owners decided not to throw the team’s achievements into the box and began to return the cult “Gothic”.

Steam released a remake of the first "Gothic"but only a “demo” lasting two hours. The development was taken up by THQ Nordic Barcelona, ​​which wants to release an updated version of the cult RPG, and is asking fans to help with the correct recreation of the universe on Unreal Engine 4. After completing the “demo,” players will be asked to complete a survey, the results of which will determine the fate of the remake.

Some fans have already tried the demo version,and the first reviews on Steam are “mostly positive.” The losers criticize the remake for its optimization and colorful graphics, since the original was darker. The combat system, the emphasis on exploration, and the general improvement of graphics were among the pluses.
