Jowood announced a targeted release date for Gothic 3, which is now scheduled for Q4 of 2005. However, it is Piranha Bytes who develop it so this is yet to be confirmed by PB as you can see from Jowood's infamous announcement of the second Gothic 2 addon, which then never happenend (still no official statement about this embarassing affair - it looks like Jowood announced it without contacting PB first, who refused to spend more time in G2, but wanted to concentrate on G3). In related news, Jowood expects to miss its targeted sales figures of 22-25 million EUR, but 'only' 21 million EUR, due to weak sales figures in Q4/2004. Let's hope the Austrian publisher is not getting into trouble again as they did 2 or 3 years ago... |
