Developer Alkimia Interactive has released an upgraded demo of Gothic 1 Remake. It features faster animations which allow for smoother interactions with the world. Of course, it remains free.
A demo of Gothic 1 Remake, also known as the Nyras Prologue, was first released back in February of this year. After its release, the studio shared in a statement that they started to receive feedback from different platforms that include social media, forums on Steam, and the official Discord server. Overall, at least 15,000 players completed the survey.
Features of the demo include:
- A brand-new prequel story set in the gritty and unforgiving world of Gothic.
- Rediscover the iconic atmosphere of the 2001 RPG classic and encounter legendary characters.
- Explore the Valley of Mines, which has been rebuilt from the ground up with current-gen technology.
- Experience a first taste of the modernized combat system that offers a more fluid and dynamic experience while staying true to its deliberate and tactical roots.
For those who want to know what's changed with the upgraded demo, along with the improvements still to come, can learn more about it through the video here.
Gothic 1 Remake remains faithful to the original experience as it rebuilds the game from the ground up while at the same time preserving the unique sense of unrestricted exploration and satisfying progression. The dark and gritty world of the Colony has been made richly detailed and immersive. In addition, NPCs and wildlife follow realistic daily routines which are independent from the player.
While the core pillars of the game remain intact, the remake improves the experience with expanded and more detailed questlines. There are also additional NPC routines and reactions along with new traversal abilities. Fans can also look forward to a fully modernized combat system.
In Gothic 1 Remake, players return to the Valley of the Mines. They get to explore a hand-crafted and organic open world that reacts dynamically to their actions. Whether they’re a seasoned Gothic veteran or this is their first time being thrown into the colony, everyone is in for a true RPG experience with unrestricted exploration like no other.
