No, I haven't made a mistake and filed this under the wrong Gothic sequel... After a rather long pause (somewhere around three months) the Toihlsa official site has been updated! The newsbit states that, since the Gothic 2 Mod Kit has been announced, there is no reason for them to continue to work in the older engine. Therefore, the modification should now be considered to be a Gothic 2 one.

The newsbit also reveals some immediate intentions of the team, for they are working on a playable prologue to their modification right now. They expect to release it very soon.
