Welcome to the Colony
The Kingdom of Myrtana has been invaded by a relentless horde of orcs. Desperate for powerful weapons to repel them, King Rhobar II orders the mining of vast quantities of magical ore, setting every available prisoner to work in the Khorinis mines. To ensure no one escapes, the King commands his most skilled mages to erect a magical barrier. But something goes terribly wrong, and the magic spirals out of control, trapping everyone inside. The prisoners rebel, transforming the mine into a lawless territory ruled by the Colony’s most brutal inmates.
Now, the King must negotiate with these new rulers, as tensions rise among the mine's factions. Amidst the chaos, the arrival of an unknown prisoner will change everything …

Step into the role of the Nameless Hero, a prisoner thrown into the Valley of Mines: a ruthless penal colony surrounded by a magical barrier. Inside, prisoners rule themselves. Three rival camps fight for power, alliances shift constantly, and survival depends entirely on how well you adapt to this unforgiving world.
Originally released in 2001, Gothic earned its legendary status through its immersive world-building, reactive NPC behavior and ecosystem, challenging progression, and unmatched sense of player freedom. Gothic 1 Remake preserves these core pillars while modernizing the experience for a new generation of players. Will you earn your place in the Old Camp, join the rebels of the New Camp, or follow the strange beliefs of the Swamp Camp?
But keep in mind, that Gothic has always been a game that refuses to hold the player’s hand. There are no glowing trails leading you through the world. No enemies magically scaling to your level. Nothing stopping you from wandering somewhere dangerous far too early. If a creature looks terrifying, that probably means it can kill you.
Well... welcome back to the Valley of Mines.
Gothic 1 Remake is being developed by Alkimia Interactive and published by THQ Nordic. The game is available now for PC, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S.
