JoWooD, the publisher of the popular Gothic RPG titles released a statement that they are pursuing work on the latest Gothic title, the 4th in the series but that the future is uncertain at this point. The important fact is that Pluto 13, former developer of the Gothic series, is out of the picture and the publisher is looking to go forward without them at this time. Here is the text of the official release:
 “JoWooD confirms having been in promising negotiations for the development of Gothic 4 on PC and console with various prospective development studios. Releasing Gothic 4 on current-gen console is the next logical step for the Publisher’s strategy. JoWooD puts most of its focus on high quality standards as well as reacting to the communities comments and requests for the sequel to its flag-ship title.”
“Since Pluto 13 and JoWooD have not come to terms regarding the development of Gothic 4, the collaboration has come to an end.”
