Barcelona, Spain / Vienna, Austria - February 12th, 2026: The Gothic 1 Remake's primary objective has always been to recreate that raw, unforgettable magic of the original – the gritty camp vibes, the living open-world, the rough language, the unforgiving wilderness, and that nameless, no-hero outsider feel that made Gothic a cult legend 25 years ago. The developers at Alkimia Interactive poured endless hours into tweaking every detail to bring back the original atmosphere of the Valley of Mines—the meatbug ragout à la Snaf, the piercing battle cry of a scavenger, annoying Mud—everything is in its place.
This project is a tribute and a love letter to the Gothic universe and its community. While working on it, it has always been important to pay close attention to every nuance, every corner of the world, so that it all feels "Gothic" in the end.
That's why the Gothic 1 Remake won't be releasing "Early" 2026, nor will it be late; it will arrive precisely when it's meant to:
June 5th, 2026. Phew. We said it. Locked and loaded, you'll visit the Colony once again in June 2026. One thing is for sure: this could have only been done with the constant support of the Gothic community. That pure, unfiltered passion is what defines Gothic. We can't wait for the players to finally hear the words "Welcome to the Colony!" again.
