"Gothic 1 Remake Demo with New Protagonist Niras at Steam Next Fest"

Alkimia Interactive, the creative minds behind the eagerly awaited Gothic 1 Remake, have opened the doors to a brand-new demo version for journalists from various outlets. Initially crafted for Gamescom, this demo is slated to become publicly available soon, offering a tantalizing preview of what's to come.

The demo acts as an appetizer to the full game, introducing players to a fresh protagonist named Niras, rather than the iconic Nameless Hero. Niras, another prisoner, steps into the Miners' Valley and engages with its inhabitants, laying the groundwork for the expansive narrative that awaits.

Back in 2024, Alkimia showcased an exclusive prologue demo at Gamescom, immersing attendees in Niras' arrival at the Colony and his introduction to its unforgiving environment and its denizens. This demo will soon be accessible to the public, allowing gamers worldwide to delve into the revitalized world of Gothic. Both the current demo and the complete game have been reconstructed almost entirely from the ground up, ensuring longer playtime, a heightened focus on orcs, and a host of additional immersive elements. Fans can look forward to a more enriching and captivating experience than the original.

The latest demo of Gothic 1 Remake will be launched on Steam as part of the Steam Next Fest event. It will be available for free from the evening of February 24th until the evening of March 3rd, after which it will no longer be accessible. The full release of Gothic 1 Remake is scheduled for later this year on PC (Steam, GOG), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
