The Gothic 1 Remake is almost here! We’ve managed to get our grubby hands on an updated version (thanks to Unreal Engine 5) to help you get prepared!! The fans are buzzing with excitement for this fresh take on an old favorite and we know you’re eager to explore the Valley of Mines…

To get you prepared before the launch day mayhem starts, we wanted to give you a head start and show you the default controls for easy reference. Gothic games do possess a certain feel and the Remake wishes to preserve that feel even though the gameplay has been modernized. Whether you’re going to battle the Colony with a trusty keyboard and mouse on PC or take advantage of an Xbox controller, realizing that the default control layout is key for getting started easily.
