Gothic 3, one of the most awaited games of this year, received a release date.

“It’s fixed – Gothic 3 fans will get their hands on Gothic 3 this October and will be rewarded with a great game for their patience”, says Stefan Berger, Senior Brand Manager JoWooD Productions.

Gothic 3 will be released on the 13th of October in Europe!

All this being said, I guess that the fans will be excited and if you want to taste the medieval flavor, JoWood is setting up a surprise. Developer Piranha Bytes, publisher JoWooD Productions and co-publisher Deep Silver are proud to announce the official Gothic 3 camp in the very heart of the Games Convention in Leipzig.

From the 23rd to the 27th (the camp is opened on 24th) of August, the exhibition space between halls 2 and 4 of the fair in Leipzig will be transformed into a fantastic scene.

Utilizing hundreds of square meters, a medieval market, live action role playing swordfights and the public barbecuing of a suckling pig will ensure a Gothic-styled atmosphere. Other attractions will be provided as well as the opportunity for fans to deploy their own tents to provide a base while spending exciting hours with the developers. Only a few days after Piranha Bytes called their followers to arms, more than 300 fans enrolled for the campsite.

Is there anything to add? I guess not. Ready your mouse, clean your monitor and make some space available because the medieval times are upon us. Knights, mages and rogues will try to change your life for a short while.
