A new and closer look at the game Arcania: A Gothic Tale (Gothic IV), including new name, developer, features, and more. Part German, part French developer, Spellbound will be the new developer of this game, not the developer for the first three games.

It's been a while since the North American release of Gothic 3, and you still see threads pop up on message boards asking if it's playable yet. The fact that it was released in a messy state is no secret, yet there's still a strong community involved with the game, so much so that some have taken to patching it themselves. Gothic 3, like its predecessors, had some great ideas built in and offered a vast and beautiful world to explore. The third game also happened to have rampant stability problems and a flawed combat system, which certainly didn't help the franchise.
