THQ Nordic has announced plans to bring the Gothic saga to new platforms in 2026. The main milestone is the release of Gothic Classic for iOS devices, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the original RPG. This mobile version will join the ports for Nintendo Switch and the editions planned for current and previous generation consoles. The package is completed with the arrival of Gothic II Complete Classic and Gothic 3 Classic.
Technical adaptation and multiplatform legacy 🛠️
The iOS port represents a challenge in adapting controls and interface for touch screens, a process similar to that already done for Switch. These 2026 releases are based on the updated Classic versions, which aim to offer an experience as faithful as possible to the original game with improvements in compatibility and stability. THQ Nordic thus covers a wide spectrum of hardware, from mobiles to modern consoles, ensuring the preservation of the title.
The master plan: play Gothic anywhere, except on the toaster 😄
With this move, the company has a clear strategy: by 2026, you will be able to live the experience of being a prisoner in the Mining Colony from your phone, your console, your PC, and probably your smart fridge. It's such an extensive rollout that they're only missing announcing a version for watches, so you can get a notification every time a molerat defeats you. While the remake modernizes the game, they ensure that the classic version accompanies you on any device within your reach.
