Let the adventure begin! Gothic Classic is out now on Nintendo Switch™! Embark on an epic journey through a dark and immersive world of an RPG classic, for the first time on a handheld console. The kingdom of Myrtana – with great performance and a well adapted UI and controls – is now in the palm of your hand.

War has been waged across the kingdom of Myrtana. Orcish hordes invaded human territory and the king of the land was in desperate need of ore to forge enough weapons, should his army stand a chance against this threat. Whoever breaks the law in these darkest of times is sentenced to serve in the giant penal colony of Khorinis, mining the much needed ore. You are thrown through the barrier into this prison colony. With your back against the wall, you must survive and form volatile alliances until you can finally escape.

Gothic Classic is available on Nintendo Switch™ at an SRP for € 29.99 / $ 29.99 / £ 24.99.
