THQ Nordic has been reviving Piranha Bytes’ fantasy series Gothic, and next up, is the release of Gothic III Classic.

This open-world action RPG, first released in 2006, will be coming to the Switch 2 on 24th November 2026 and is priced at 29.99€ (or your regional equivalent). Here’s a bit about the game, along with a look:

A nameless hero becomes a legend!

Myrtana, a world in upheaval: overrun by orcs from the dark lands in the north, King Rhobar is defending Vengard, the former stronghold of the humans, with his last troop of followers. Chaos reigns without: rebels are offering resistance, and the Hashishin of the south are openly collaborating with the orcs.

Rumours that the nameless hero of Khorinis is on his way to the mainland spawn both hope and worry. Whose side will he take? Who will feel his wrath, who enjoy his favor? Only one thing is sure: his deeds are going to change Myrtana forever…

Liberation or annihilation – the fate of the world of Gothic lies in your hands!
