Original Gothic Trilogy on Consoles
Alongside the Gothic 1 Remake launch, THQ Nordic is bringing the original Gothic Trilogy (Gothic, Gothic II Complete, and Gothic 3) to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S for the first time. Each of the three classic games has its own staggered release date across 2026.
Release Dates
Game | Console Release Date |
|---|---|
Gothic Classic (2001 original) | July 28, 2026 |
Gothic II Complete Classic | September 29, 2026 |
Gothic III Classic | November 24, 2026 |
Relationship to the Remake
The classic Gothic launching for consoles on July 28 is the 2001 Piranha Bytes game that Gothic 1 Remake rebuilds. Console players who pre-ordered the remake physically on PS5 or Xbox receive a free digital copy of that classic as a pre-order bonus, which means many players will have access to both the 2001 original and the 2026 remake on the same hardware within months of each other.
Context
The classic trilogy has been PC-native throughout its history. Moving it to modern consoles in 2026 is a separate effort from the remake project itself, but the two are tied together in THQ Nordic's positioning of 2026 as 'Gothic year' on PlayStation and Xbox.
