Gothic Board Game Spin-off From THQ Nordic
– 1 min read
After the Darksiders board game, THQ Nordic's board game division is working on another project based on one of their most recognisable franchises, Gothic. The crowdfunding campaign has already been followed by over 4,000 people.
THQ Nordic has announced Gothic: A Shadow's Quest during Gamefound's "Feast - Winter Edition 2025". In this new board game, players step into the boots of a Shadow - an ambitious member of the Old Camp seeking to rise to fame within the Colony. Designed for one to four players, Gothic: A Shadow's Quest takes place in the Colony before the arrival of the nameless hero from the original game. Players select one of eight backgrounds and choose from eight archetypes, including swordsman, mage and more. With a mix of quests, combat and exploration, the game immerses players in the dark, dangerous world of the Colony.
The Gothic board game is being created by the board game division of THQ Nordic, the creative team behind Darksiders - The Forbidden Land. The Austrian company is using Gamefound, a platform that specialises in board games, as its crowdfunding platform. More than 4,200 people are currently following the project. It is not yet clear when the campaign will start. Meanwhile, Spanish developer Alkimia Interactive continues to work on the Gothic remake for PC and consoles.
