X360 owners really love RPGs. RPG king confirmed. The genre is doing great, especially WRPGs.
I hope these great sales means new big budget attempts of new IPs are in the making. The low-budget titles such as Two Worlds and Gofic 1-3 (one of the Gofic games was supposed to come out on the X360 but I dunno what happened) haven't worked very well so far. |
I'm pretty sure you mean the Gothic series.
1-3 wasn't supposed to, but Gothic 4 will release on Xbox 360 + the new game from the Gothic 1-3 devs is already confirmed (http://news.softpedia.com/news/Project-RPB-Gets-Official-Name-Risen-91550.shtml)

Oh, so simply "Risen" is the new name of Gofic?
And what is Gofic 4? Is it the same as the newly released Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods that some people also call "Gofic 3.5".

1st thing: I'm pretty sure you want to drive me nuts, because you're always writing "gofic" 
2nd: No
Long story. Piranha Bytes (Developer of the Gothic series) spilt up from their publisher JoWood, who unfortuantely helds the rights to Gothic 2, 3 and a sequel. A team hired by JoWood made the Gothic 3 Add-On "Forsaken Gods"
Now Piranha Bytes is working on "Risen" an new WRPG. Their new publisher will be Deep Silver.
JoWood hired a new team: Spellbound Entertainment which is supposed to work on the next Gothic game. They changed the name "Gothic 4: Arcania" to "Arcania – A Gothic Tale" (A dumb decision if you ask me)

Thanks for explaining. An interesying story.
I hope with Risen they will aim for Oblivion-style once again - they have to make it work sometime.
