THQ Nordic has announced that Gothic 3 Classic will release for Nintendo Switch 2 on November 24. It will launch the same day as the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 versions.
Physical editions of all three versions will also be available. Pre-orders are now live on several retailers, including Amazon, which confirms that the Switch 2 version will be a game-key cart. Here’s an overview of the game, via THQ Nordic:
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!
