THQ Nordic announced that it will release a free demo for Gothic 1 Remake on February 24th. Gothic 1 Remake is powered by Unreal Engine 5, and its upcoming demo will let you explore Nyras Prologue.
What’s interesting to note is that this demo is not a part of the game. Instead, this is a special demo that aims to showcase the world, mechanics, and atmosphere of the remake.
In this demo, you will take on the role of Nyras, a convict thrown into the Colony. The story will be only loosely connected to the full game, and it will allow you to explore the Colony at your own pace. This prologue takes place before the events of Gothic 1, setting the stage for the Nameless Hero’s legendary journey.
Although the demo will be available on February 24th, some influencers got access to it a bit earlier. So, you can find below a 30-minute gameplay video from it. This video will give you an idea of what you can expect from it.
To capture this gameplay footage, YouTube’s “ENFANT TERRIBLE” used an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. Sadly, though, he did not include any performance overlay program. Plus, he did not show the graphics settings, so we don’t know the setting he used. On the other hand, Cycu1 ran the demo on an NVIDIA RTX 4080. At 4K/Cinematic settings, that GPU was pushing 20FPS.
I’ll be sure to test the demo on my PC system when it comes out. So, expect some performance impressions as soon as I get my hands on it.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

enfant is a child groomer. stop supporting child groomers who steal video content from other sources
Wow, really? And appropriate name too… "Enfant" means "child" in French.
cycu1 is a gigantic bundle of sticks too as he censors comments he deems to be "-phobic" or "-ist"
Absolutely ruined
All this effort to make the world look high fidelity in order to draw you in, only for this immersion to completely shatter the moment you interact with anything in it.
Interesting conundrum.
all unreal engine games feel static and lifeless. all the items in the world have no physics most of the sh*t you see lol everything just feels lifeless
i remember Gothic 1 on PC… man i feel old now. I was impressed by its graphics ( Gothic 3 was amazing for its time one of the reasons i play PC games is for their graphics ).
Imagine going back in time showing the graphics of the remake to yourself while you were amazed by Gothic 1 graphics..
I wouldnt believe how far graphics would come and would have my jaw dropped..
I'm still skeptical about that Gothic: Pajeet Edition…
But if it's good, I'm still going to support the hell out of it, cos then maybe we'll get Gothic 2 remake!
I was always a huge fan of Gothic 2, but damn these janky controls, man…

Hey Papa, check this out:

There's a real need for some sort of global illumination, there's way to dark and contrasted areas next to bright outside. Other than that, for who doesn't know the story or played the first one this is very good.
They added DASH to combat… Ok I understand that the Gothic 1 Classic combat is outdated as hell, but come on…
– Animations still looks outdated, but this is what you can expect when your Lead Animator is a lady that things she is the "Top Dog"
– They are still sticking to FADED colors and over tune lighting that looks like someone put gamma to 200, and the whole scenery looks terrible.
– Visuals are… We seen better looking games. This one is not one of them and runs like crap.
This remake should be done by CDPR, Techland, Vicarious Vision or Bluepoint Games.
Especially someone from Poland or Germany, where Gothic games are legendary with cult-like communities.
Let's be real, those un-experienced Spanish devs, don't know what is going on.
Those would be much more expensive to hire dude
