JoWooD has named Spellbound Entertainment as the new developer for Gothic 4, following its spat with original creator Piranha Bytes.
This next role-playing instalment will be heading to console for the first time in the series, alongside PC, and with a date expected soon.
Spellbound was the brains behind Wild West series Desperados, a strategy action game like the popular Commandos series. It was pretty good, too, as our Desperados 2: Cooper's Revenge review will attest.
Both parties insist the fundamentals of the series will be stuck to, but will be built upon to create the best offering to date. Naturally. More details are expected to be laid out to select press and fans in the next few days.
Gothic 3 was released late last year on PC to hearty applause. Developer Piranha Bytes has since gone on to sign a deal with publisher Deep Silver to create a new unnamed game, where it will use all its experience and knowledge its gained over the years.

Fingers crossed it'll mean a less buggy game. While I admire what Piranha Bytes done they clearly didn't have the time/resources to pull off the game the way they intended.
Last one I played was II, but I've had III was even worse when it came to frustrating bugs, so I gave it a skip. |

Yeah, Piranha Bytes have a history of releasing buggy games. Actually, everything they've ever released has been extremely buggy.. I don't even know why I love these games. But I do. I waited 8 months from the day I purchased Gothic 3 until I installed it for the first time, to let the patches catch up.. That's stuff you have to do as a fan of Piranha Bytes :|
I guess I have some extraordinary patience with them. |

"freeroaming RPG goodness"
The Winner for the coveted prize of 'I don't know what makes a good RPG' And the winner is *drum roll* YOU. Gothic 4 made by Spellbound = uninteresting unless a miracle happens. The new project from Piranha Bytes is where it's at. Gothic 1 and 2 are still unbeaten in so many respects, it's almost scary. |
