For those of you looking for a bit of very enjoyable nostalgia, Gothic Remake has finally opened its doors on preorders across its available platforms, announcing the news in style with a fresh trailer.
But that’s not the only good news. If you’re looking to play it on a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S, preordering it for $59.99 gets you a free copy of the original game, playable immediately. That’s quite a good deal if you haven’t played it and want to familiarize yourself with its systems and mechanics. If you’re a returning veteran, it’s going to work well as a refresher before you get to engage with all of the new additions that are coming your way.
For those of you who missed this one back in the day, it’s an excellent RPG that puts you in control of the Nameless Hero, a protagonist who finds themselves navigating the brutal Colony, a prison housing three factions with volatile relationships. You must find a way to escape with the help of a few allies you make along the way, although your choices may influence how those relationships play out over the course of the story.
It’s a title that has been quite popular over the years, and the remake remains true to its original vibe while making meaningful upgrades for modern audiences. Gothic Remake is available on June 5th, retailing for $49.99 on PC. Pre-orders even get Kai Rosenkranz’s soundtrack, which contains new tracks and reimagined “familiar melodies,” for free.
