Gothic 4 Realese Infos!
Release
Date
Approximately 2009/10
Jochen Hamma (Producer Spellbound) mentioned the numbers 2, 2.5 and 3 for the development time in years. This is a rough estimation at the moment (09.2007).
JoWooD calculates on the release in 2009 (Source, german).
International
So far Spellbounds internationally published games were released at the same time in each country. Spellbound has tools and workflows which allow the simultaneous release of 5-10 language versions of a game. Because of that it is likely, that it will be the same with Gothic 4.
Platforms
PC: Yes
Console: Probably, but later
At first the focus lies on the development for PC, in order to meet the visual requirements of the Gothic series. "Whether and when other platforms are an option, we will have to see" (Source, german). Basically all potential Gothic 4 engines support consoles (details in the technology section).
The Game
The Name Gothic 4 - Genesis
Genesis means that they want to take the chance to do a new start. Gothic 4 won't be a direct prequel of the Gothic series. Whether the story takes place before, after or while the happenings of the Gothic trilogy so far, is not yet certain.
Genesis: "New start" or "something being in the process of development/evolution"
What will be preserved
The core characteristics of the gothic series are supposed to be preserved
From the WoG-Interview with Spellbound:
For us, exploration and discovery are two of the most important basic principles of the Gothic series, which one can find again. Visually convincing, mostly dark landscapes and great music, together with an interesting narrative style and the RPG-typical character development reward the player during his expedition.
Visually and acoustically Spellbound wants to orient oneself strongly at Gothic 3. Story, characters and dialogues are to remain preserved in the well-known Gothic style, whereby here one looks more on Gothic II.
Well known characters
There will be a reunion with important...

Gothic 3 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!”
