JoWooD delays new Gothic game News

PC Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese

19 August, 2009

JoWooD has pushed the release of ArcaniA - A Gothic Tale to 2010 on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

This, claims the publisher, has afforded extra time and "substantial" extra budget, which will ensure the new Gothic game is "one of the best releases of 2010".

That could also mean, however, that ArcaniA was well below par and JoWooD was forced to inject funds to see the project through.

ArcaniA - A Gothic Tale may carry the Gothic name, but with a new developer and added console versions, the game may feel very different to fans of past instalments. JoWooD is doing everything to ensure that is not the case, of course.

Previous Gothic developer Piranha Bytes has moved on to create Risen, which is also a fantasy RPG, and on PC and Xbox 360. The game, published by Deep Silver, recently added top-tier voice talent, as Andy "Gollum" Serkis, John Rhys "Gimli" Davies and Lena "Sarah Connor (Chronicles)" Headley and more join the cause.

I really hope it's because they want to make sure it's polished to a shine and not because it was so crappy that they just couldn't release it now. Anyhow, I still have Risen to look forward to, October 2!

A polished Gothic game?

I doubt it.

I love the Gothic series but I doubt the game isn't going to have substantial bugs in it.

Agreed, and I think I'd place the same bet on Risen.

I'll take that bet on Risen! Considering they're making it for the Xbox 360 too now, so it'll have to pass through Microsoft's rather picky Quality Assurance..

Have JoWood ever made a decent game? I'm surprised they're still in business, most of their output has been utter gash.

JoWood is mostly a publisher. And they do have a few gems, like the Spellforce series, the Gothic series, the Guild series, Sam & Max etc.
