Gothic is a 3D real-time fantasy RPG being developed by German studio Piranha Bytes. Egmont Interactive will publish the game there. Nothing has been announced to date about a North American publisher.

Sascha Henrichs, a 3D Artist on the Gothic team at German developer Piranha Bytes, also has a long list: -Fallout 2 (don't have it yet) -some more programmers for our programmers team ;-))) -a bit of freetime for my hobbies -a korg prophecy synthesizer -digital camera -good news Musician Kai Rosenkranz, also working on Gothic, figures a mere stocking won't be sufficient to hold what he'd like to receive: There's a whole lot of stuff that I'm dreaming of, so it wouldn't fit into that holiday stocking. :-) No, I don't expect anything, although I'm still searching for a way to finance my study. I cannot afford it for the moment yet, so maybe a scholarship or something would be great . . . Referring to the game there is only one thing that I hope. I hope that in the end it turns out to be as fantastic and successfull as we all expect it to be.
