A couple of years ago, things looked pretty grim for Gothic fans. With the release of a rather buggy Gothic 3, tensions between publisher Jowood & developer Piranha Bytes heightened & the future for the series was uncertain.

Now, with Jowood having announced both Gothic 4 & an expansion pack for Gothic 3 and PB revealing this trailer for Risen (previously Project RPB), things are looking up.

All I can say is that if PB manage to combine the atmosphere and story-telling of their original Gothic with the graphics in their new trailer, then this is one gamer who is going to feel ruddy bloody good!
