The Alkimia Interactive and THQ Nordic team is dropping new updates on Gothic 1 Remake, this time inviting us to check out the voices behind the awesome Remake!
Gothic 1 Remake (or 2026) is the Fantasy Action RPG being developed by the Alkimia Interactive team and published by THQ Nordic. It’s the Remake project of the first beloved chapter of the famous series. It started out as a “pitch” back in 2019 under the name Gothic Playable Teaser. It was handed off to the Alkimia team after the Piranha Bytes crew decided to focus on the Elex series.
Finally dropping the first public demo online during the Steam Next Fest in February 2025, it got a ton of love and interest from fans. The team then decided to make the demo permanently available with new additions. Finally, they confirmed the Official launch for early 2026.

Gothic 1 Remake – How the Voices Bring The Colony to Life
A super interesting deep dive, with the English Dubbing version being introduced by Joseph May. He’s the voice of the protagonist, sharing his experience in the role. Then Beth Park, the Lead Voice Director, introduces us to the world of The Colony. It’s a penal colony, with a living game world that doesn’t revolve around us.
Where our choices will have different outcomes and consequences, but with a world that will keep on going. This gives various layers to the protagonist, as well as the relationships with the various characters we’ll meet.
A Living Colony Far from Fantasy Tropes
As Daniel Bainbridge, one of the Voice Directors, confirms, Gothic Remake really tries to get away from the tropes of fantasy games. Portraying characters who are often not very enthusiastic or uninterested in us, seeing us as just another dude in The Colony.
So we’ll have to earn their trust or interest to get new options. Plus, there’s the challenge of creating the Orcish language, as a totally made-up language. The voice actors confirm that we’ll start to recognize some words by interacting with them. Dubbing that, remember, will also be in:

Following strong interest from fans and good initial feedback from the Demo, it looks like the Gothic Remake is aiming for an immersive experience.
