Gothic 2: New Balance – When will the update be released? More info

Size of the New Location

Out of curiosity, I measured the surface area of regions (Liker) where the player can move freely (in arbitrary area units):

• Khorinis: ~296000

• Adanos Desert: ~230000

• New Island: ~110000

• Western Coast: ~67000

• Coastal Lands (Oswald’s Farm): ~41000

This means the new location will be roughly twice as large as the Western Coast.

When will it come out

Unfortunately, there’s a 90% chance that the update (with the new class) won’t be released this year. Reasons:

• The location and scripting take a lot of time.Haart is working on a plugin that overhauls the karma system and hasn’t even started his part of the update yet (animations and new enemies).Some things I want to make higher quality than they currently are.

• So considering the New Year, the holidays, and the time needed for voice acting, the realistic release window is closer to late January – early February 2026.

Screenshots, descriptions, and videos will continue to be posted in the news updates.

Another update

Here it is, as requested. Some small adjustments to the quests. These changes will be part of the big update coming next year.

• It will now be possible to free Hart from the orc city. To achieve this, you need to complete the arena, return his sword, and liberate the lower mine.

• Balam’s quests (before Masiaf) can now be skipped — a dialogue option will appear.
