Gothic 1 Remake update adds Photo Mode and Marvin Mode

Alkimia has released the first major feature update for Gothic 1 Remake. The update introduces a Photo Mode, which players can access through the pause menu or by pressing the L key to capture screenshots in the Colony. It also adds Marvin Mode, an official cheat mode that allows players to teleport, spawn items, characters, or creatures, and unlock difficult locks. To use Marvin Mode, players press Esc, type MARVIN, and press Esc again. Typing 42 after pressing Esc will deactivate the mode.

Players can now customize the Nameless Hero with new hairstyles and tattoos after completing specific quests for Joru and Baal Namib. The update also adds a feature to wait while sitting on a bench and provides Brotherhood customization options for members of the Swamp Camp.

The update includes various gameplay refinements and fixes. Crafted weapons now have improved stats, NPCs have new sound reactions, and a death animation has been added for players who die in water. Alkimia resolved chapter progression bugs, targeting troubles with Aaron's Chest, the Minecrawler Nest, and the focus stone. Other fixes cover merchant inventories, journal entries, enemy behavior, and interactions with golem corpses in chapter 4.

Gothic 1 Remake launched on June 5, 2026, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. Alkimia has stated that its next project will be revealed in 2027.
