Piranha Bytes’ upcoming science fantasy-themed action role-playing game, Elex 3, may have been canceled, and the studio possibly closed down.

Absolute shite news tbh, even if I wasn't a fan of anything after Risen 1 it still sucks to see them go.

oh no :(

As a german this is really hitting me. One of the last "legendary" game developers here, with a very particular style and history. Gothic was also one of the first games I have ever played which got me into the hobby.

Yeah, the Gothic series was, and still is one of my favorite game series ever made.

Unrelated to the article but did you try "The Chronicles of Myrtana: Archolos" already? It's basically a spiritual successor to Gothic 2, using it's engine but with a different main character and in a different part of Myrtana. It's absolutely incredible and a must play for anyone who enjoyed Gothic 1 and 2.

Yep, have played it fully like 3 times.
