Back in December of last year, THQ Nordic, and in particular their Barcelona branch, floated around the idea of a Gothic remake. And according to this recent Steam announcement, that remake will indeed be happening. Apart from informing us of this fact, the announcement also shares the results of a player survey that was used to determine this project’s viability.

Here are the text bits:

Yes, we do it! The Gothic Remake is going to happen

After unambiguous feedback, THQ Nordic will head into full production on the Gothic Remake

Next step is to set up a Barcelona based studio and head into main production

Barcelona, Spain / Vienna, Austria, February 19th, 2020: Just a little over two months after releasing a playable teaser for the Gothic Remake and asking the players for their feedback, the answer is clear: The fans are up for a new "old" Gothic game and the vast majority (read: 94,8%) was in favour to develop a remake of the iconic German RPG Gothic, originally released in 2001.

Over 180.000 players have played the playable teaser so far. On the evening (CET) of February 16 2020, THQ Nordic took the survey offline, and hereby publicly releases the raw data of the survey, as well as highlight graphs. With more than 43.000 answered surveys and over 9.000 (yes, really!) reviews on Steam and various discussions on all social media platforms, there is enough data to check.

Eager to check for yourself? As we want to start a transparent and open production with the community from the very start of the project, we are happy to offer you the results of our survey in a neat PDF file or - for the people who really want to dig into the raw data - the entire dataset with all 43.111 participants included.

Enjoy and Stay tuned!
