Gothic 2

Gothic 2: The Dying World was announced at last week’s Comic-Con.

Battles will be turn-based, real-time action and RPG-style, and over the course of 15 hours of gameplay will take the player through the “early 20th century”. This won’t be as elaborate as previous titles. Rather, it’s more focused on action, rather than you and your rival’s quest to rise to the top.

This original story and lore will be told in full screen and through fully interactive and 360-degree panoramic cutscenes, and there’ll be more than 50 weapons and armour, with customisable animations for your weapon. You’ll also be able to use the Gauntlet, the stone bridge weapon which opens your path and changes your appearance, and other items.

Gothic 2: The Dying World will release on PC, Mac and Linux in 2012.
