Looks like we are going to get another great game in the Gothic Universe.

It's a Gothic game in name only. Piranha Bytes and JoWood split after Gothic 3, with JoWood then bringing in Indian developer Trine Games to make the abysmal Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods expansion. The development of Arcania: A Gothic Tale was handed off to Spellbound, another studio that had absolutely nothing to do with the Gothic series (if you can't tell, I'm not expecting much from this game).
If anyone is looking for a excellent game that carries on the spirit of the Gothic series then go with Risen (which was developed by Piranha Bytes after the split with JoWood).

I remember reading a conversation between a spellbound studio employee on a Gothic fan site and he mentioned that they only had 6 months to make the game. They were rushed to get it released by the publisher. So who knows. Maybe this one will be a lot better then the last game.

Another GREAT Gothic game? After two good games (Gothic 1 & 2) and two crap games (Gothic 3 and Forsaken whatever), the next great Gothic game will be the first great Gothic game.

Sorry - I did a search on Arcania and came up blank. We need better seach function on the forums so this can be avoided.

You searched General Discussion. Arcania discussion would logically go in the Gothic series forum since it's related.

Actually thought the game discussions were for GOG offerings only - I will search better next time.

Understandable.
No, they're not necessarily. There are many "related game" threads within those forums. Beyond Good & Evil has a thread for discussion of the sequel, for example.

Still, a thread about [eagerly anticipated upcoming title X] is better suited on the general forums because a lot fewer users browse the individual game forums on a regular basis.
