Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods goes gold

The Gothic RPG franchise got served a detour with Gothic 3 in 2007. The game was released with tons of bugs and issues so publisher JoWood dumped the game's developer Piranha Bytes and moved on, even deciding to rename the next full game in the series, Gothic 4, to Arcania: A Gothic Tale.

But before that game is released in 2009, JoWood will release Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods, an expansion pack to the 2007 release. Developed by Trine Studios, the expansion will add new locations, quests and monsters to Gothic 3 and is also designed as a story bridge between Gothic 3 and Arcania: A Gothic Tale. The expansion has now been declared "gold" and will ship to stores on Nov. 21. JoWood's US subsidiary Dreamcatcher Games will handle the North American release

Does this include the original Gothic 3? It was my understanding that this is basically an "Enhanced" version of Gothic 3, but with extra content as well.Posted at 11:00PM on Nov 10th 2008 by Sokkratez

NO it is a new game. That Royally sucks. Do not by this. If you fill the need to play it. All I got to say is, back up all original G3 files in a different folder. Then hit your favorite torrent site! Posted at 8:39PM on Nov 22nd 2008 by ennon
