Hey everyone,

First of all: thank you.

The subreddit has grown to more than 456,000 members, which is honestly wild for a community built around more than two decades old eurojank videogame from Germany.

The Gothic Remake launch has brought in a lot of new players, returning fans, long-time lurkers, modders, veterans, confused newcomers, technical troubleshooters, screenshot enjoyers, and, somehow, an entire horde of vibecoded lockpicking assistant apps.

So, a few moderation updates.

Spoilers

The Gothic Remake spoiler megathread has been fairly inactive for a while, so we are unpinning it.

It will remain available, and people are still free to use it, but we are no longer going to keep it pinned just so it can sit there like an abandoned ore cart.

That said: the spoiler rules still apply.

Please keep using Reddit's spoiler feature when discussing Gothic Remake story content. This includes:

• Story details
• Quest outcomes
• Character reveals
• Endings
• Major discoveries
• Significant changes compared to Gothic 1 Classic

Yes, Gothic 1 is more than 20 years old. No, that does not mean everyone has played it. The remake has brought in a lot of new players, and some of them are entering the Colony for the first time.

Do not put spoilers in post titles.

Posts with unmarked spoilers or spoilers in titles may be removed at moderator discretion.

Gothic 2 Remake "Confirmed" Posts

We are also temporarily suspending low-effort "Gothic 2 Remake confirmed" posts.

To be clear: this does not mean discussion about a possible Gothic 2 Remake is banned.

You can talk about whether you want it, what it should change, what it should preserve, how Night of the Raven should be handled, what the setting could look like, and whether the swampweed smuggling deserves a full simulation remodel in Khorinis.

What we are suspending are posts that treat every tiny hint, vague comment, job listing, LinkedIn update, background texture, developer reply, or dream-induced prophecy as proof that Gothic 2 Remake is confirmed.

The Remake sold well. That is good news. But unless there is an actual official announcement, Gothic 2 Remake is not confirmed.

I mean it is almost given they will do it, I know, but still. We have already lived through decades of "Half-Life 3 confirmed" jokes as a species. We do not need to speedrun the same cultural illness with "Gothic 2 Remake confirmed" posts because someone found the number 2 in a developer's grocery list.

Poorly sourced theorycraft videos making huge claims from prerelease screenshots also fall under this. If the whole argument is basically red circles, arrows, and "you won't believe what this means" then no, probably not. In the sea of AI slop, we forgot even we can make some A-grade slop ourselves without wasting so much water.

If you want to discuss the possibility of Gothic 2 Remake in a broader way, this is a good thread for that: https://www.reddit.com/r/worldofgothic/comments/1uk1tif/are_you_excited_for_gothic_2_remake/

Technical Issues and Bug Reports

If you encounter bugs, crashes, broken quests, performance problems, or other remake-related issues, please report them through the official THQ Nordic / Alkimia bug reporting page:

https://bugreporting.thqnordic.com/#/projects/150/gothic-1-remake-community/add-issue

You are still welcome to discuss technical issues here, but with that link, you have a better chance of developers hearing you up.

Thanks

Thanks again to everyone helping keep the subreddit active, readable, and mostly sane. I'm looking at you, helmet man.

Report spoilers, keep titles clean, avoid duplicate posts, and please do not make us moderate the seventeenth "Gothic 2 Remake confirmed because I saw one of the devs do a peace sign, which is same as 2" post this week.

See you in the Colony.
