THQ Nordic released a behind-the-scenes video, the first in a series, of what’s going into making the remake of Gothic, featuring insights from key team members, including Reinhard Pollice (Head of Studio & Game Director), Kai Rosenkranz (Music Composer & Sound Designer), Daniel Candil (Studio Art Director), and many more, the video explores the studio’s vision and dedication to bringing Gothic back to life.

The King is forced to negotiate with the new owners, while the tension between the different factions of the mines increases. What no one expects is that the arrival of an unknown prisoner will change absolutely everything…
