We got a loaded update for fans of the Gothic game franchise. It’s definitely something that’ll whet your appetites for JoWood’s upcoming Gothic 4: Arcania.

The June issue of the German Personal computer Games magazine has been given out in advanced to a few lucky subscribers. Inside the issue were some tasty treats on the RPG.

To make things easy to read, we’ve placed the details in bullet form. Here are the things that you can anticipate when the game is finally released:

• Fully titled Gothic 4: Arcania (as opposed to the previous subtitle Genesis).
• Story set 10 years after the third title and located on various southern islands, each having different climate zones and its own flora & fauna.
• Same as in previous titles, there’ll be a hidden place (temporarily blocked by a magical shield/barrier).
• Weather changes, full day and night cycle plus the ability to temporarily cast a spell and change the time of day (e.g. from day to night when you need to slip past guards unnoticed).
• Aside few NPCs from the previous title, some monsters will have a fresh look (however, trolls look the same as in Gothic III).
• With the ability to climb and ride on beasts.
