Developers from Alkimia Interactive have begun distributing copies of the Gothic 1 Remake demo to journalists and content creators, leading to detailed comparisons between the remake and the original game. A YouTube creator named Cycu1 released a video showcasing side-by-side differences and similarities, highlighting the meticulous attention to detail in recreating the starting location.

Notably, the protagonist in the demo is not the Nameless One but another prisoner from the Miners' Valley. The developers carefully replicated all iconic elements from the original while modernizing the visuals. Meanwhile, THQ Nordic announced that a free demo for Gothic 1 Remake will be available on February 24, featuring Niras' prologue built using Unreal Engine 5.

Interestingly, this demo won’t be part of the main game but rather a standalone experience designed to showcase the world, mechanics, and atmosphere. Players will assume the role of Niras, a convict exiled to the Colony, exploring its environment at their own pace. This prequel takes place before the events of Gothic 1 , providing context for the legendary journey of the Nameless Hero.
