Liezen, Austria, 23rd of August: JoWooD Productions Software AG is proud to present the Spellbound Entertainment AG as the official developing team for Gothic 4. One of the most convincing and central arguments for choosing Spellbound, was the scope of RPG experience brought in by Spellbound team member Jochen Hamma, who was involved in creating the legendary "Nordland Trilogy" based upon the Pen & Paper RPG "Das Schwarze Auge". Furthermore, Spellbound has created own tools for achieving exceptional standards in Quality and Quality Assurance. Both parties are confident to produce a game of highest quality, and Spellbound intends to focus on the traditional strengths of the brand, setting new standards in the original, authentic Gothic essentials.

At the Games Convention 2007 in Leipzig, Mr. Jochen Hamma, Spellbounds Executive Producer, is showing the first facts and plans to curious fans and special interest media, outlining which strengths are essentially to be intensified, and which weaknesses are tagged for elimination.

In addition to these efforts, Spellbound will work together with the community patch taskforce in order to create a new patch for Gothic 3 during the next weeks. This is an additional proof that JoWooD Productions keeps supporting the Gothic 3 community and does not neglect that further work has to be made in order to exceed customers' and gamers' expectations.

Gothic 4 is being developed for PC and Current Gen console systems, a release date will be announced in the coming weeks.
