During the THQ Nordic Digital Showcase 2025, Alkimia Interactive and THQ Nordic unveiled an extensive look at never-before-seen gameplay from the Gothic 1 Remake. Closing the presentation was a reveal aimed specifically at console audiences: the original Gothic trilogy—Gothic Classic, Gothic 2 Complete Classic, and Gothic 3 Classic—will launch on PlayStation and Xbox platforms in 2026.

Preview clips showcased each retro title running on consoles, retaining their signature angular, low-poly visuals while upgrading textures and resolutions for modern screens. Beyond confirming a 2026 launch, no specifics were shared about additional features or enhancements for these ports.

2026 emerges as a landmark year for the franchise, with the Gothic 1 Remake now pushed to early 2026 following its delay announcement. This console trilogy release coincides with the 20th anniversary of the series’ last new entry, inviting players unfamiliar with its PC origins to experience the pioneering RPGs that influenced giants like The Witcher series, Skyrim, and FromSoftware’s acclaimed titles.
