According to JoWood (that always sounded dirty to me), an expansion for Gothic 3 will hit the streets in Q4 2008. Entitled Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods, the add-on supposedly answers “many open questions and guarantees a seemless step to Gothic 4.” The company really didn’t spill the beams regarding the expansion, however there was mention that they troll the Gothic 3 message boards daily, and will incorporate fan-based suggestions (or as many as they can implement) when possible into Forsaken Gods (and probably G4).

And in case you didn’t catch that former clue, JoWood semi-announced the development of Gothic 4 back in August 2007, and is currently slated for the PC and current-gen consoles (I assume X360, PlayStation 3). Here’s the official PR:

JoWooD Productions Software AG is proud to present Spellbound Entertainment AG as the official developing team for Gothic 4.One of the most convincing and central arguments for choosing Spellbound, was the scope of RPG experience brought in by Spellbound team member Jochen Hamma, who was involved in creating the legendary “Nordland Trilogy“ based upon the Pen & Paper RPG “Das Schwarze Auge“.

Furthermore, Spellbound has created own tools for achieving exceptional standards in Quality and Quality Assurance. Both parties are confident to produce a game of highest quality, and Spellbound intends to focus on the traditional strengths of the brand, setting new standards in the original, authentic Gothic essentials.

At the Games Convention 2007 in Leipzig, Mr. Jochen Hamma, Spellbounds Executive Producer, is showing the first facts and plans to curious fans and special interest media, outlining which strengths are essentially to be intensified, and which weaknesses are tagged for elimination.
