Following the release of Gothic Classic and Gothic II Classic on the Nintendo Switch, it looks like the third entry in the fantasy-themed open-world RPG series is also coming to the Nintendo Switch in the future.
A new (and now removed) rating for Gothic 3 Classic has been spotted on the ESRB. Below is a look, courtesy of Gematsu. It will be rated 'T' for teen and contains "blood and gore, language, mild suggestive themes, use of drugs and violence".
This fantasy RPG originally made its debut on PC back in 2006, and sees players take on the role of a nameless hero. Here's a brief summary via Steam:
"Myrtana, a world in upheaval: overrun by orcs from the dark lands in the north, King Rhobar is defending Vengard, the former stronghold of the humans, with his last troop of followers. Chaos reigns without: rebels are offering resistance, and the Hashishin of the south are openly collaborating with the orcs.

"Rumours that the nameless hero of Khorinis is on his way to the mainland spawn both hope and worry. Whose side will he take? Who will feel his wrath, who enjoy his favor? Only one thing is sure: his deeds are going to change Myrtana forever..."

Gothic 2: 2 - a true space filler sequel to the most important game ever made in Germany. Apparently
gothic 3FPS! give me jank or give me death. this is embarrassing.
@Smug43 Yeah, reminds me of some of the worst moments in Pokemon SV. How are games this old coming out so unoptimised for Switch? Do they just run them in an emulator and don't even bother to refactor the code?
@Dazman
The video does not show the Switch version, that is the PC launch trailer. The video was uploaded 15 years ago.
@vanYth why the hell would they do that, the trailer says available now
@Smug43
!?
Gothic 3 is not even announced for the Switch (yet).
That‘s what this whole article is about: It could possibly been announced because of an ESRB rating, but it is unsure.
The trailer is just there to show what game this is about.
Nice, looking forward to seeing if it ends up being confirmed and might eventually try these games myself, of course starting with the first one!
Wow, does people actually READ the news?? I can't believe some are saying that trailer is for the Switch version lol.
I played Risen, and kind of fell in love with this studio from the jump.
I haven’t gotten to this series yet - but are there any Gothic fans on this site??
It's fascinating how people don't take the time to read a news article, but DO take the time to write uninformed comments about it.
Anyway, the game had some major problems on PC at it's very core. I have my doubts that this will be a fluid experience especially on Switch, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong if it comes out.
@ScalenePowers
I am definitely an old Gothic fan.
Well, of Gothic 1 and 2 mainly. I have not played the Switch versions however.
