Interest in the game is being monetized.
The Gothic 1 remake is slated for release in 2026, but already some are trying to profit from the game’s early hype.
A guidebook titled “Gothic 1 Remake Guide: Exploring Factions, Combat, and the Path to Freedom” has appeared on Amazon.
The book is described as “…a loyal companion in a merciless world. From your arrival at the penal colony as a nameless prisoner to your rise as a legendary hero, you will uncover strategies for survival, routes to mastery, and secrets hidden in the ruins of the Barrier. Explore the camps, find powerful weapons and armor, master the combat system, and wield destructive magic as you make your way through lands full of danger and opportunity.”
The author explicitly notes upfront that this is an unofficial product — the guide for the Gothic remake is not affiliated with THQ Nordic, Piranha Bytes, or their partners.
