Gothic Classic is now available on iOS for $10.99, bringing Piranha Bytes’ complete dark-fantasy role-playing game to Apple’s mobile platform without cutting its campaign or simplifying its core mechanics. The release comes from THQ Nordic Mobile GmbH and follows the game’s Nintendo Switch release in 2023.
A full-sized RPG on mobile
The game is set in Khorinis, a prison colony sealed behind a magical barrier. Players begin as an ordinary prisoner and must establish themselves within a hostile society while working toward freedom. The iOS version includes more than 50 hours of the original PC content, according to the source.
Rather than funneling players through a strictly linear path, Gothic Classic centers on exploration and discovery. Its world includes characters with daily routines, including working, eating and sleeping, while the player’s actions can affect how the settlement’s competing groups respond.
Three factions, different paths
Players can join one of three convict factions. Each group has its own political aims, equipment and way of life, creating different routes through the colony and influencing the balance of power. Trainers found throughout the world help the player learn techniques and develop a preferred fighting style.
The mobile edition is described as retaining the original gameplay, including its mechanics and content, instead of adopting free-to-play systems or reducing the scope of the PC version. Updated visual filters are included as part of the mobile presentation.
Current availability
Gothic Classic can be downloaded from the App Store for $10.99. The supplied report does not announce an Android release; it only says that further updates about Android are expected. The source also identifies this as the first iOS release of the game.
