Also funny how this closes the circle: Their first acquisition (still just as Nordic games) was JoWood, the owner of the Gothic brand. Now with Piranha Byte, they also have it's creators.

My memory is not as it used to be, but didn't PB got the rights to Gothic back quite some time ago?

Not fully.

JoWood made a Gothic 4 without their involvement (and dropping the Gothic name of Gothic 4 years later) pretty much killed the franchise. Of course, JoWood retained the rights to Gothic 4 since they made it themselves, further complicating the issue.
