Gothic, the original edition that Gothic Remake reimagines, is an iconic single-player role-playing game developed by the German company Piranha Bytes. Released in 2001, it is known for its open-world design where the player assumes the role of a nameless hero who arrives on the penal colony island of Khorinis. Gothic's success led to several sequels, establishing a dedicated fanbase and solidifying its position as a notable RPG of the early 2000s, particularly valued for its elaborate story, nuanced environment, and depth of character progression. The Gothic Remake aims to bring the core experiences of this cult classic to contemporary audiences with updated graphics and gameplay, while preserving its celebrated narrative and atmosphere.
