Gothic, the beloved 2001 fantasy action RPG that boasted "over 50 hours of gameplay" and first pulled us into Myrtana, is returning this year with a shiny brand-new remake from THQ Nordic – a remake that finally has a solid release date.
Memories of my childhood include a downright ridiculous amount of time poured into the likes of Elder Scrolls gems – such as the ever-chaotic Morrowind and later, Skyrim – but also another legendary RPG from the early 2000s: Gothic.
It sparked my love of medieval fantasy with its open-world charm and immersive qualities (and, yes, its brutal difficulty). It's dark, it's gritty, it's unforgiving, it's fun… but most importantly, it's back.
