DreamCatcher Games and JoWooD Entertainment have announced today that Arcania: Gothic 4 is finally going to be released on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC in Q3 2010.
The fourth installment of the role-playing series takes place twelve years after those of Gothic 3, where players traverse a war-torn world in the shoes of a nameless hero on a path to settle an old score at the King’s Palace.
“Implementing a new main character is not just a consistent continuation of the given storyline, but it also allows us to add new ideas and concepts to the game,” says Clemens Schneidhofer, PR Coordinator JoWooD Entertainment. “Seeing your old hero as an apparently mad King, is a stimulating twist to the storyline of the Gothic saga as we see it. Players will need to be careful whom they trust … Gothic has always been known for its unpredictable story line.”
