On the first screenshot we see the hero looking out on the sea.
On the second one we get a view from a fort on a mountainous landscape rich in trees.
The third picture shows the hero on a beach in conversation with someone who resembles a well-known figure from the previous Gothic games: Diego!

After a long time of suspense, we have some news from Spellbound alongside several new screenshots, fresh from the devs.
In an article that was posted on Simul's software technology site yesterday, Spellbound announces their choice of using the Simul Weather SDK for generating Volumetric weather effects for Arcania. The award-winning and low resource consuming technology will allow the creation of "clouds that grow and change in real time".
“ArcaniA –A Gothic Tale will be a new milestone in the history of interactive role playing games. For this reason, we dedicated ourselves to only use high-quality middleware and cutting edge techniques for ArcaniA. Our commitment to make ArcaniA an AAA game is still upright and is reflected in choosing only state-of-the-art technologies. “, says Clemens Schneidhofer, PR Coordinator at JoWooD.
In addition to that, Spellbound has released several screenshots so that we can appreciate the quality of their new tool.

| [Article] Arcania - Information on the Project Status |

During the past days some interesting information regarding the project status of Arcania found its way to the community. Dynamedion announced, that they completed the soundtrack for the game. As the guys from the Arcania-Blog discovered, the localisation and development studio T57 stated on their homepage, that they accomplished the localisation of the last chapter of Arcania. On their Hall of Fame subpage the scope of work is mentioned: Translation from German to English.
The cooperation with Dynamedion was planned long ago, but the information on the cooperation with T57 is a little bit surprising. Even more surprising is the status, or rather the completion of the respective work. It is somewhat strange why such really concrete information is not published by the games officials.
Anyway, with the completion of the localisation ist is clear, that quests and dialogs where finished a while ago.

| [Editing] Velaya - Tale of a Warrior: English release |

Now, roughly two years after the German version, an English translation for the modification Velaya - Tale of a Warrior is available.
It features an entirely new story about Velaya, a young woman who sets out for adventures in Khorinis, shortly after the nameless hero and his companions left for Irdorath.
Some of you may already know the heroine of this game from Gothic 1, where she played a small, and not exactly heroic role in Gomez' private chamber. Now, after the barrier was destroyed and after a successful escape from the Valley of Mines, Velaya works on Onar's farm as a maid... but does not intend to stick to this job for long.
Of course, everything is better than the past in the Old Camp, but being pushed around and harassed by mercenaries is not the paradise on earth either. An ugly incident with the creepy mercenary Dar is the final straw: Velaya decides to run her own life as an adventurer!
The story is divided into four chapters, which can be expected to offer about forty hours of gameplay, all in all.
