Did Gothic Fans’ Revolt Over the Removal of Sexualized Portrayals of Women Work? First Reaction from the Gothic Remake Team
Fans have voiced concerns about the developers’ creative direction.
Recently, Gothic fans noticed several alterations in the remake. For some reason, the well-known painting in Gomez’s throne room — which depicted nude women — has been removed.
Other female characters have been changed as well: revealing outfits have been replaced with more modest costumes.
That shift sparked outrage across the community, with players expressing their displeasure on the Gothic 1 Remake Steam forum and accusing the developers of censorship.
Some threads were closed, and now the community manager for Gothic, T‑Moor, has posted a response:
We’ve been reading all the comments online over the past few days. Thank you for your feedback! The team is actively discussing this matter. Throughout development, Alkimia Interactive has demonstrated — and continually proves — that the studio pays attention to the opinions of the series’ fans. One simple request: please keep the conversation constructive. Thank you!
Gothic 1 Remake is slated for release in Q1 2026 — you can add the game to your Steam wishlist via the following link: Steam.
