Why The Witcher 3 fans should be excited about Gothic Remake

CD Projekt Red's developers often point to Gothic as a key inspiration. Both are European, open-world medieval fantasy RPGs with a monster-slaying hero, but the connection runs deeper than surface similarities. Gothic predates The Witcher 3 by 14 years, and with the Nameless Hero's adventures nearing their 25th anniversary, the original can feel aged.

THQ Nordic has set a release date for the Gothic Remake: June 5, 2026, after six years in development. CD Projekt handled Gothic's Polish translation back then, helping make the Polish release a major hit—Steam discussion credits good reviews, low prices, and strong dubbing.

THQ Nordic's video on the Polish voiceover outperformed the English one by roughly six to one, the team brought back several original voice actors, and producer and voice director Jacub Rezmer emphasized the remake's Polish spirit.
