Gothic Remake Gets New Video Showcasing 22 Minutes of Uninterrupted Gameplay

gamingbolt.com:

While Alkimia Entertainment’s remake of classic RPG Gothic is still under development, the studio has released some new footage that gives us 22 minutes of uninterrupted gameplay of the game. Released through IGN, the video gives us a glimpse at some of the early gameplay from the Gothic remake. Check it out below.

The description for the gameplay video also reveals that it was recorded at the highest cinematic settings possible at 4K, while running on a PC with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 GPU.

Things start off quite slow with a long conversation between the protagonist and Diego, before the player then has to delve deeper into the mines and take on early-game enemies like molerats. Much like the original, the Gothic remake also rewards exploration with new items and equipment.

On leaving the mine, the nameless protagonist finds himself exploring a broken-down path along the side of a hill before running into a hunter named Drax. The conversation with the hunter ends with him making a deal with the protagonist to help him with a hunt in return for a place to camp.

The gameplay video highlights one of the key aspects of Gothic: the brutal combat. Death will come easy to players that set out unprepared in the RPG, and despite early-game enemies seemingly being weak, it only takes a single mistake before the player has to hope they have a recent save file.

Another key aspect of Gothic in the form of the emphasis on socio-political happenings in its world is also showcased in the video. As they travel, players will have to figure out just who they can trust, and what characters they should be weary of. Players will also have to convince various expert combatants to train them in order to appropriately level up.
