11/11/2023 0 Comments Gothic 1 system pack![]() In 2019, a playable teaser of first game's remake was released by THQ Nordic, with the intention of receiving feedback from players. One interview with Piranha Bytes has confirmed they have regained the rights to the series due to their sale to JoWood being temporary. They later made another successor called ELEX. Meanwhile, Piranha Bytes made their own spiritual successor named Risen, which received good reviews and praise from journalists and fans. An add-on was completed, but Piranha Bytes's temporary sale of Gothic's rights only allowed JoWood to make two games, including expansion packs, and the obvious legal issues have prevented its release. Arcania received low reviews and was poorly recived by fans for being decidedly un-Gothic in most ways, primarily being very linear. Of course, things are yet again not how they seem and the previous Hero didn't become an Evil Overlord just for fun. The fourth game in the series, Arcania: A Gothic Tale or simply Gothic 4, also not made by PB, stars a new hero who goes out on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge after the troops of the King ( yeah, THAT King) butchered his village and killed his Satellite Love Interest. In the end, the Hero becomes the new King of Myrtana to unite them once and for all. This time, the Nameless Hero returns from exile because he is majorly pissed off at the people of Myrtana not enjoying the peace he has brought them with hard work, but rather warring each other in various factions once again. Most fans consider it So Bad, It's Good at best. An Expansion Pack called Forsaken Gods was also released, which took the Obvious Beta status up to eleven and wasn't made by Piranha Bytes. Gothic III was the first game in the series to feature Multiple Endings, and was something of an Obvious Beta at release. Finding himself in the middle of a political struggle which also represents a war of dominance between gods, the Nameless Hero has to choose a side. In the third game, Gothic III, the Nameless Hero travels to the mainland of Myrtana, only to find out that the land has mostly been conquered by the Orcs, though several factions are still struggling. The Hero sets out to stop him, rediscovering an ancient, lost civilization in the process. ![]() Raven, a minor NPC from the last game, attempts to obtain the Claw of Beliar. Uniquely for an expansion, Night of the Raven makes large changes throughout the whole game instead of making them self contained to the new area. It also had an Expansion Pack, Night of the Raven. The sequel, Gothic II, once again follows the now free Nameless Hero, who is promptly recruited to defeat the approaching army of dragons. At first, he's just trying to survive, and maybe escape if he's lucky - but he ends up having to save the world. We never find out exactly what crime he committed, and none of the other characters really care. A 2001 German game translated into English, Gothic is the first in a trilogy of Action RPGs starring The Nameless Hero, who has been thrown into a prison colony.
