As found on reddit, the weekly videos on PBs youtube channel are no longer published and their website shows only their logo. Should we be concerned?
Piranha Bytes, the acclaimed developer behind iconic RPGs like Gothic and ELEX, is reportedly working on a new game set to be released in early 2026. The project, currently codenamed WIKI6, has received a substantial boost from the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection through a €3.17 million subsidies.
The news was first reported by German outlet Games Wirtschaft, which revealed the government's financial support for the upcoming game.
While little is known about WIKI6 at this stage, it is expected to be another entry in the RPG genre, a field in which Piranha Bytes has demonstrated considerable expertise. Whether the game will be a brand-new franchise or a continuation of an existing series remains uncertain.
But they still have one more chance. They got money from the German state. Embracer has no reason to kill them. For now.

- WIKI6 was (most likely) Elex 3. The project has been removed from the german govermant funding / support page. Sum of funding was ~3 Million Euro.
4 consecutive pieces of shit
No, Elex 1 was good.

Gothic is a console game and its shit
- cutscenes
- dumb dialogue
- janky movement/controls
- console UI
- bland factions
- MMO-tier crap loot
- boring combat
They've been doing the same game for twenty years straight
Embracer Group AB (formerly Nordic Games Licensing AB and THQ Nordic AB) is a Swedish video game and media holding company based in Karlstad.
These kind of government grants are always tied to your own investment. And you only get chunks of it, depending on your show of progress and your ability to prove that you have invested the money that you promised into the project so far.But they still have one more chance. They got money from the German state. Embracer has no reason to kill them. For now.
