Gothic 2 Remake Teased by THQ Nordic as New Project Expected in a Year
Fans of Gothic Remake have been left with a tantalizing hint about what comes next: Gothic 2 Remake. While no official announcement has been made, studio head Reinhard Pollice suggested that THQ Nordic is aiming to unveil a “new game” roughly a year from now—potentially at a similar stage of its showcase cycle.
Quick facts
- THQ Nordic has not formally announced Gothic 2 Remake yet
- Reinhard Pollice (Alkimia Interactive, director of Gothic Remake) hinted at a new game reveal
- Pollice said it would likely be revealed “probably in a year” on a similar show
- The comment came during the THQ Nordic Showcase 2026 segment focused on Gothic Remake
- Gothic Remake is being improved further while a sequel’s direction appears to be under consideration
At the THQ Nordic Showcase 2026, Pollice addressed the Gothic community after discussing the reception and sales performance of Gothic Remake. In that context, he told viewers: “At some point we’ll announce our new game. Probably a year from now on this show.”
The important detail is how the statement was framed. Pollice delivered the remark inside the portion of the showcase dedicated to Gothic Remake, and the discussion referenced both strong player response and that the project is selling well. Taken together, that positioning strongly suggests the “new game” could be Gothic 2 Remake.
What this likely means for Gothic 2 fans
Right now, Alkimia is focused on improving the first Gothic Remake release. However, the timing and context of Pollice’s comment imply that a positive decision about continuing with the sequel might already be in place—or at least that the option is actively on the table.
Even if the plan isn’t finalized, Pollice’s wording lands as encouragement for players who’ve been waiting for a follow-up to the remake. For many, the message reads like a roadmap: expect a new reveal on the THQ Nordic showcase stage about a year after the current one.
