Barcelona, Spain / Vienna, Austria - May 9, 2025: There’s a new demo in town! Developer Alkimia Interactive has been closely monitoring and analyzing player feedback since the release of the Gothic 1 Remake demo - the so-called Nyras Prologue - in February. More than 15,000 players completed the survey, with even more feedback coming in via social media, Steam forums, and the official Discord server.

A huge thank you to everyone who participated - your voices helped shape the game and make it even better!

Thanks to these valuable insights, the team has been able to fine-tune the experience according to players' needs while staying true to the spirit of the original Gothic. The updated demo is available now, featuring, for example, faster animations that result in smoother interactions with the world.

Late '90s gameplay with 2018's graphics and 2025's wokery. Boy, I can't wait to pay 80 yoghurts for this master remaster.

I did not hate this demo, but I'm worried about relying on player feedback. That would be okay if you had some way to ban idiots, but otherwise it's not a good plan.

I mean, you know what Gothic 1 is - all you have to do is play it to find out where you've gone wrong.
