| [Gothic 3] Gothic 3 Artbook on Sale |

The hardcover art book to Gothic 3 is now on sale and considerably reduced in price.
Over almost 200 richly illustrated pages containing some never before published artwooks about the entire Gothic series, it is a feast for any Gothic fan regardless of language background. Although the book is printed in German, this shouldn't stop you from enjoying its content - the language of art is universal. ;)
Compared to the artbook which came together with the Gothic 3 Collector's Edition, this hardcover version features twice the content and is twice its size. In addition, it offers a "behind the scenes" view to Gothic 3.
At the moment, the «Rollenspiel Shop» offers the book for the reduced price. We will let you know when Amazon has followed suit, which should happen within the next days. The vendor «Rollenspiel Shop» is associated with Piranha Bytes and ships to international destinations.

| [Gothic 3] gamona.de Interview with JoWooD |

Following Monday's announcement regarding an add-on for Gothic 3 called "Forsaken Gods", gamona.de directed some questions at JoWooD.
As announced, the add-on should bring answers to some unresolved questions and prepare the transition to Gothic 4, which is in development also.
JoWooD's latest press announcement itself leaves rather important questions unanswered. What does the add-on do? Will it finally fix Gothic 3? Who is the developer? The gamona.de interview with JoWooD tries to clear the surrounding mist a little.
The name of the developer remains a secret for the time being and might be lifted within the next few weeks. Both the add-on and the future Gothic 4 will be developed simultaneously, though most probably not by the same studio. The add-on is expected to secure a seamless transition from Gothic 3 to Gothic 4. It's also possible «Forsaken Gods» might be released as "stand alone" add-on.

Today JoWooD announced an official Add-On for Gothic 3. It already is in development since several month and is named “Gothic 3 - Forsaken Gods”. At the moment nothing is known about the story, but thematically the title goes nicely with it, said CrazyIvan, JoWooDs Community Manager.
From the press release:
“Gothic 3 – Forsaken Gods will answer many open questions and guarantee a seamless step to Gothic 4. Once more you take on the role of the nameless Hero and again you have to raise your sword in anger to save the world of Gothic. On your journey you will meet old friends – but be careful, some old alliances may not have lasted the test of time….
JoWood is working on the expansion and the feedback from fans is extremely important to the developer of Gothic 3 - Forsaken Gods. The game designer and developer are studying the Gothic message boards each day and will incorporate as many of the fan-wishes as possible while working on the extension.
The release of Gothic 3 - Forsaken Gods is planned for Q4 2008. Further information will follow soon!”

Currently, JoWooD Productions and Spellbound Entertainment are working on the fourth part of the Gothic series; Piranha Bytes puts its efforts into a new role playing game having the working title “RPB”. The JoWooD-branded Gothic products available in stores will remain within the worldwide distribution network of JoWooD Productions Software AG.
“We are happy that we put aside our differences with the company Pluto 13. After a long and successful period of cooperation, it was of great concern to find the best possible solution for both parties! We are proud to continue with the marketing of products of the Gothic-series and will fulfil the high-quality expectations of its loyal fans”, explains Dr. Albert Seidl, CEO JoWooD Productions.
“Our differences in the past are history. By putting them aside, Piranha Bytes as well as JoWooD are now able to continue constructive-minded work full of vim and vigor. For Piranha Bytes that means the development of entertaining and high-class role playing games”, as Mr. Michael Rüve, managing director Pluto 13, points out.

| [Gothic 4] JoWooD Productions Denies Release of Gothic 4 Screenshots |

Lately some screenshots from the homepage of the Trinigy game engine, which will probably be used for Gothic 4, were discussed in the forum. The Screenshots are pictures of a Fantasy RPG study of one of Trinigy´s clients planned for release for PC & Next-Gen consoles. There were assumptions that these pictures could be screenshots of Gothic 4. Now JoWooD released a press statement regarding these pictures:
JoWooD Productions would like to issue a statement regarding screenshots recently appearing in press that have been attributed to the company’s highly anticipated RPG title, Gothic 4. The Austrian Publisher denies any connection between the screenshots and the upcoming successor of its famous brand Gothic.
“Screenshots of Gothic 4 have not been released by the developer Spellbound nor Publisher JoWooD Productions. The recently released screenshots did not originate from our new RPG game and do not come close in comparing to the graphical level that Gothic 4 will reach”, explains Johannes Natterer, Head of Marketing at JoWooD Productions. “Gothic 4 will far exceed the aesthetics shown in the mentioned screenshots. At this stage of development we feel that it is too early to release screenshots of the game”.

Version 1.5.2 of the Gothic 3 Community Patch is available. The change compared to the previous Patch is, that it turns off the copy protection. JoWooD gave the green light for this step to make the community patch work with some international Gothic 3 versions, which use another copy protection than the European versions. Also, this patch works with the Gothic 3 version contained in the gothic universe edition.
Please take a look at the installation instructions, to ensure everything will work well.
