Just when one thinks that a game is relatively dead, one can be surprised by some official announcement out of the blue. It's the case with the press release issued today by Jowood (Gothic 3 publisher) stating that the first official expansion for the game -- titled Forsaken Gods --will be available sometimes during the fourth quarter of 2008.
The info contained within the announcement are rather scarce though, and no screenshot has been issued yet (the screens above are from the original Gothic 3). Still, Jowood states that Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods should be linking Gothic 3 and Gothic 4 stories. The press release is so short that we can give it to you right away: Add-On for the award winning roleplaying game Gothic 3. Gothic 3 – Forsaken Gods will answer many open questions and guarantee a seamless step to Gothic 4. Once more you take on the role of the nameless Hero and again you have to raise your sword in anger to save the world of Gothic. On your journey you will meet old friends – but be careful, some old alliances may not have lasted the test of time…. No developer is announced for this expansion (the relationship between Jowood and Piranha Bytes -- Gothic 3 developer -- has been over for several months) and the last news about Gothic 4 was that it was in need of a developer too. So everything is a bit blurry there. Good to know that more information will come soon then... Erratum: bobdog informed me that the problems between Jowood and Piranha Bytes seems to have been officially solved. My info regarding this was a bit outdated. Does that mean that Piranha Bytes are the ones to develop Forsaken Gods? We don't know. That's a possibility but Jowood still have to clarify that point.
