The Gothic Remake is a faithful overhaul of the genre-defining open-world RPG that offers an organic world that dynamically reacts to your actions. Set in the Kingdom of Myrtana, which has been invaded by orcs, King Rhobar II looks to repel the threat by mining vast quantities of magical ore to forge powerful weapons; as such, every prisoner available is set to work at the Khoriinis mines.
In order to ensure no one is able to escape their duties, the King entrusts his most skilled mages to establish a magical barrier at the mines. However, the magic spirals out of control, trapping everyone inside; a rebellion soon kicks off among the prisoners, with the mine transformed into a lawless region ruled by the Colony’s most brutal inmates. In the midst of all this, a mysterious prisoner arrives who is destined to change everything.
