[Official] New and last patch for Gothic 3 Forsaken Gods Enhanced Edition released
21.12.2011 um 22:33
Shortly before Christmas the Community Patch Team (CPT), also known as "Mad Vulture Games" has released their last patch for the Enhanced Edition of Forsaken Gods.
The patch has been produced in collaboration with Nordic Games and solves a number of bugs, including a few important ones, which were present in the Enhanced Edition.
The patch has not been released until today, because the team has enjoyed a well-deserved break after their work on the Enhanced Edition. The perseverance of the team is truly remarkable!
In the german WoG forum RoiDanton of the CPT has stated that no decision has yet been taken on another patch for the original Gothic 3 game:
"Like said, we have been thinking about this. But no final decision has been made. We will once again take a small break, it's Christmas after all."
The computer game sale and distribution service Good Old Games (gog.com) announced, that Gothic 3 is now available on GOG. The game ist patched to version 1.6 and costs 9,99$. The bundle contains the game in English and the manual as well as wallpaper, soundtrack, avatars and artworks. As always the download at GOG is completely free of DRM.

[Editing] New version of Gothic 3 Content-Mod released
16.10.2011 um 22:22
A new version of the Gothic3 content mod has become available. And again, the creators of the mod prove that it is possible to modify Gothic 3 thoroughly without using a mod kit.
Originally, the idea and the goal of the mod were to adapt the atmosphere of the game to create a Gothic 2-feeling. Which worked out quite well: texture packages, sounds and a lot of content were integrated.
As the modding project progressed, an impressive piece of work was created, which doesn't focus just on Gothic 2 anymore, but also includes a whole lot of other changes.
Version 2.3 of the mod comes with many changes, new things, extras, and improvements.
To download the mod (international version) follow the link below.

23.09.2011 um 00:24
A long time the future for the already completed Arcania add-on Fall of Setarrif was unclear. The probability for a release seemed to be nearly equal to 0%. But now Nordic Games announced the release date for the long delayed game. The stand-alone expansion pack will be available on October 25th 2011 from all major digital retailers. Apparently it will be available for download only, except in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and it will retail for EUR 14.99. The playtime is estimated between 4 and 8 hours.

Although the Story Team were hard at work playtesting the game last month, the project has registered great progress.

The games platform Good Old Games announced Nordic Games as a new member of the GOG.com family and started a promotion with price reductions for all Nordic Games titles. Because Nordic Games bought significant parts of the insolvent publisher JoWooD, the Gothic 2 Gold Edition is one of these titles. It's worldwide available in English for 4,99$. You can also buy all Nordic Games titles at once which reduces the price per game further. The promotion ends on Friday, September 16 at 6:59 a.m. EDT (that's 10:59 a.m. GMT).
As we reported two month ago, significant parts of the insolvent publisher JoWooD were bought by a swedish company. The plan was to reboot lots of the JoWooD games and communities. Now JoWooD became a wholly owned label of the newly founded Nordic Games GmbH. The company is located in Austria to maintain business activities.
Right now the JoWooD websites and forums where shut down. During the next weeks new websites will be created and launched. As explained in the press release, all old forum threads and data files will be included in the re-launch.
If this new development incdreases the chance for the release of the already finished Arcania add-on is unknown.
